Bible Question (short): Use of quotation marks... i'm confused! |
Question (full): Has anyone read this verse and been a bit confused by the NASB's use of Moses' quoting of God? that is, the "'Carry them... their fathers'?" bit? This doesn't seem grammatically possible - NIV rephrases this verse while KJV and AMP don't put quote marks in the verse, so i'm just a tad confused. Seems to me like Moses' quotation should end after 'nursing infant'. i know it's a bit pedantic but i wanna work it out! lol |
