Bible Note: Ed, thanks for raising your good question. You said: "I find you asking this question interesting. I would think in translation you would want to understand the intention of the original writer/language rather than how one might read it today." This is exactly correct, and this is why I have made these field tests. I am trying to find out if those who encounter various wordings in English Bible versions get the same meaning from them that the original writers intended. That is the only meaning that is valid for accurate translation, IMO. If I have missed anything that you are asking, please feel free to followup. It sounds to me that we are on the same page.
