NASB | Daniel 1:4 youths in whom was no defect, who were good-looking, showing intelligence in every branch of wisdom, endowed with understanding and discerning knowledge, and who had ability for serving in the king's court; and he ordered him to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Daniel 1:4 young men without blemish and handsome in appearance, skillful in all wisdom, endowed with intelligence and discernment, and quick to understand, competent to stand [in the presence of the king] and able to serve in the king's palace. He also ordered Ashpenaz to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. |
Bible Question: What would you say that aptitude means in the Bible? |
Bible Answer: Dear lady :: The word "aptitude" does not appear in the KJV or the NASB translations, but "apt" does in 1 Tim. 3:2 and 2 Tim. 2:24 of the KJV. In these contexts "apt" means "able," and NASB reflects this meaning. Apt is akin to aptitude. If one has an aptitude for something, teaching, for example, it may be said that he is suited to or is able to teach. By the way you worded your question, perhaps you know of a translation in which the word "aptitutde" appears. I don't. --Hank |
