AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ecclesiastes 10:1 Dead flies make the oil of the perfumer give off a foul odor; so a little foolishness [in one who is esteemed] outweighs wisdom and honor. |
Subject: "Flies" should read "given" |
Bible Note: To: Makanos: I am primarily a Bible expositor. All of the conservative Protestant expositors had to begin by editing the translation; because they are all so bad. They are all so bad because they have retained thousands of KJV errors. They have four names of God wrong because the KJV had them wrong. However, the Internet is full of websites with the proper translations of these names. James Strong identified "Elohim" to be "plural gods"; both pagan gods, and Father and Son. Matthew Henry and Robert Jamieson agreed. The webmasters of these sites also agree; but they think that we should stick with status quo. William D. Mounce's lexicon identified "Christos" to be "Anointed." The Interlinear Bibles all read "Iesous" instead of "Jesus." The British invented the letter "J" in about AD 1725. HWH is "to be." The prefix "Y" reads "he." HYHA is "I Am." God taught this to Moses. HWHY is "He Is." Moses taught this to Israel. Jesus came teaching "I Am." Peter confessed, "You are Anointed, Son of God." Hebrews reads, "Who being radiance of the glory ... of essence of Him" - Heb 1.3; and other similar verses. The Jews did not believe in "The Son of God" - Psalm 2.7. They changed the names of God (plural Gods, He Is) in the Septuagint. The "traditions of men" is the great stumbling block. I have translated, and interpreted, all of Ecclesiastes. "Death given" (10.1) is about the death of Israel being prophesied in Verse 3.2. Matthew Henry and Andrew Fausset agree with this interpretation of Verse 3.2. Please believe me, that I do not speak foolishly or recklessly. Respectfully submitted. sid |
