Bible Note: God's day to you, Mark ... "I could not tell you why Bible translators have consistently translated this passage as they have" ... is a mystery to me, too. Not just verse, but others like Romans 12:1. When abad (Hebrew) or latreuo (Greek) are in the same verse as shachah (Hebrew) or proskuneo (Greek), it is always translated serve with the latter being translated worship. Then when abad (Hebrew) or latreuo (Greek) are alone, it is sometimes translated worship. To me that makes no sense. Searcher PS Having a little knowledge of Aramaic, Greek or Hebrew is dangerous. I am grateful for Tim and others who can help. |
