| KJV and the Koren Jerusalem Bible? Hi all,
I have been researching bible versions, translations, etc. I have read that the KJV, which is what I currently read, has been translated from Hebrew, to Greek, to Latin, and then to English, causing a loss in some of the original Jewish idioms, etc. Since I do not read or speak Hebrew (possibly yet) I was wondering if the Koren Jerusalem Bible might be a good choice?
I understand that it was translated to English directly from original Hebrew writings, thus skipping the Greek and Latin translations, hopefully minimizing any losses of Jewish idioms or misinterpretations.
Does anyone read this bible or know anything else about it? And please correct me if I have any of my facts wrong here. I am just trying to seek the Lord and the closest thing we might have to His holy word.
Thanks,
so small e |
