Bible Note: "Hebrew and Greek words can be translated in more than one way. Those familiar with Biblical languages know that many phrases have several meanings. Therefore, it is a risky thing to suggest the translators have erred. In most cases such objections reflect the shortsightedness of the critics, or else his or her lack of understanding either the original or host languages. It is one thing to offer another possible translation and another to state that a translation is in error. More times than not, the one who is mistaken is the critic." ____________________ Crowned With Glory: The Bible from Ancient Text to Authorized Version by Dr. Thomas Holland (http://members.aol.com/DrTHolland/Chapter9.html ) Grace to you, Kalos |
