Subject: What does "send her away" refer to? |
Bible Note: Ed, the reason for asking and the reason for the survey is to determine if people understand the originally intended meaning of the Scripture from the words used in a translation. Field tests are a tool used with computer software to determine if the software is adequate for use by the public before it is released to the public. Field testing is a Bible translation tool that does the same thing. As a tool, it is neutral, simply trying to discover data. What is done with the data after the results are compiled is up to each translation team, depending on the goals of that team, what their target audience is, etc. It is very important to ask these kinds of questions because it is very important that the Bible be accurated communicated through translations. We do not want to have translations which do not accurately communicate the originally intended meanings of the human and Divine authors. So, in short, we ask via field testing because we are committed to translating the Bible as accurately as possible. I hope I answered your question. I have the feeling that we may be missing each other a little, but I'm not sure. Blessings, Wayne |
