NASB | Ecclesiastes 3:5 A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ecclesiastes 3:5 A time to throw away stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing. |
Subject: "throwing stones" or "making love"? |
Bible Note: a slight correction: "covering his feet" means dropping his paints to relieve himself (not uncovering, as I had said). If you look at 1 Samuel 24:3 you will find that our Bible do not give the "literal" translation --- because it wouldn't make sense in English. The Hebrew is still there in the footnotes. There are many cases of this kind of thing, and I think it is wise to pay attention to them. |
