Bible Question: Recently I turned 21 and got a copy of the Today's English Version 2 (TEV2), 1992 edition. (I had gotten the 1976 edition [TEV1] a few years back.) This version of the TEV was produced under the imprint of the GodSpeaks billboard campaign. What's your view on the TEV? I find it to a fresh rendering of God's Word. I helps balence out some of the literal renderings of the KJV, NRSV, and their kin. |
Bible Answer: roverjbh99, I have trouble with some the words they translate "worship", with 537 verses. Two examples are: -The TEV uses worship in Genesis 4:26, where they say. "It was then that people began using the Lord's holy name in worship." Other translations use the word call, which fits better, because the Hebrew word id 'qara. -In Lev. 23:6, the TEV translates the phrase as "gather for worship," while the NAS translates it as, "holy convocation" or "sacred assembly."
