could translation be wrong.

[hyburn]

using e-sword I will give different meanings for each verse. go through starting at genesis

Genesis
1:1

In the beginning{the first, in place} God{gods is a little stranger. from the hebrew translation of a plural sence of god, perhaps refering to the 3 in 1 sense} created{created is from the hebrew bara, meaning a primitive root(not sure what that means)} the heaven{from shamayim shameh, derrived from the root word, to be lofty} and the earth.{`erets, meaning firm}

 

[hyburn]

Genesis
1:2
And the earth{again we see `erets(we can be sure it refers to the earth now)} was{from the word hayah meaning exist} without form,{from tohu meaning desolate} and void{from bohu meaning empty}; and darkness{from choshek meaning the dark} was upon{from `al meaning upon or against} the face{from paniym meaning face}of the deep.{from tehom tehom meaning the abyss}And the Spirit{from ruach meaning the wind} of God{from elohiym meaning the plural of god} moved{from rachaph meaning to brood} upon{from `al meaning literally upon} the face{from paniym meaning the face}of the waters.{from mayim meaning water}

You can tell how many people are reading by looking at the numbers on the right, when you list the threads.

Your question (?) is unclear. If you intend to upload the whole book of Genesis, then you have misnamed your thread.

If you have a question regarding translation, you should state it first, so that people know what you are trying to do, or what part of the translation you are questioning.

By giving alternate renderings for every word in Genesis, no one will know what 'translational error' you are talking about.

Just get to the point man!

Peace, from
Nazaroo

Genesis
1:4

Gen 1:4 And God{from elohiym meaning of the supreme god} saw{from haah meaning numours meanings as advise, self,appear, approve, behold, consider, descern}the light,{from `or meaning illumination} that{from kiy meaning basically that} it was good:{from tob meaning good} and God{from elohiym meaning of the supreme god} divided{from badal meaning separate} the light{from `or meaning illumination} from{frombeyn meaning a distinction}the darkness{from choshek meaning the dark}

Obviously, the method you are using is tedious, and it isn't working.

Try asking some pointed questions about a specific verse or passage, or if you are just looking for 'errors' generally, get a commentary on a part of the bible and see what the difficult and controversial parts are.

Or ask someone like me. I could probably save you years of wandering.

Peace,
Nazaroo

Ok, where are you lost? Try to choose a consistent direction. If you are in a maze, and there is a way out from where you are, then consistently turning left or consistently turning right will eventually lead you to the exit. Please provide further information, if you want us to guide you out.

Think that a far more fruitful endeavor would be to search for TRUTH.... There is way more truth than error in the Scriptures.

The original Scriptures in the original languages are inerrant, but the translated Scriptures have to deal with the language barrier, time barrier and culture barrier. These all affect the wording, and understanding the full meaning of Scripture is helped by knowing Greek. But, it is not absolutely necessary. Looking at several versions helps, along with prayer and guidance from church leaders. English is a very different language from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek.
