As we continue editing and translating the texts of the classic Bible, we encounter strange words every day whose meaning is unclear to most believers.
If a person is not a linguist, it is impossible to understand such words without dictionaries. This once again proves that the classic Russian translation of the Bible needs editing, regardless of what anyone says.
Our team has already corrected many such words. This has made the biblical texts more accurate and understandable; most importantly, it does not disrupt the structure or integrity of the classic translation. The exception is critical inaccuracies, which we have to correct according to the Greek text.
Examples of words that need to be replaced.
lamp
in vain
shell
on high
beasts' flesh
arrived
wombs
cord
fellow questioner
parables
shoulder piece
fellow fighters
perverse
assembly place
plowmen
den
inasmuch as
maternal
prohibition
eyebrows
eloquent
fire
womb
and others
Show these words to people and ask them what they mean; you will be surprised when you hear their answers. It will be especially fun if you ask young people to explain what they understand by each word :))
But in reality, this is not funny. We are reading and trying to understand a Book that affects our lives now and our future in eternity. Draw your conclusions…
