In Hebrew every letter has a numeric value. Recently there was a lot of talk about a Bible code.
It's all Greek to me.
The Greeks also assign numerical values to letters. (Roman numerals are similar.)
In both cases, it is a convenient way to write numbers without inventing digit symbols. Unfortunately, people quickly start turning actual words into numbers based on the numerical equivalents.

Greek is very exact and very precise. It says what it means and means what it says. It is a language used to conquer the world. With Hebrew they say if you have four Rabbi they have five opinions.It's all Greek to me.

Compared to Hebrew and other Middle-East languages, Greek does not translate spiritual words or concepts very well. English is the same.Greek is very exact and very precise.

means that same as it does in hebrew - missing the markWhat does the Greek word for "sin" mean?

You say that like it's a bad thing.Compared to Hebrew and other Middle-East languages, Greek does not translate spiritual words or concepts very well. English is the same.
As we all know it means to miss the mark. When I was in basic the only thing they spend money on was ammo for target practice. They did not spend money for anything else. We even had to buy our own boot polish.What does the Greek word for "sin" mean?
It does have a way of cutting short the depth of human experiences. I don't see the good in that.You say that like it's a bad thing.
I wonder how much was lost in the translation from Aramaic to Greek and on into English? I think quick a bit. I'm not sure it was originally written in Aramaic or Hebrew.The Psalms in the Bible are songs. English is very poetic and picks up the rhythm of the Bible.

Your assumption appears to be that cultures need middle east concepts to have "depth" of human experiences. Too, you omitted part of my point. To wit, that the ME likely can't handle Navajo concepts and thus cut "short the depth of human experiences."It does have a way of cutting short the depth of human experiences.

Moses was written in Hebrew and only Jesus can add to what we received from Moses. Everyone else is commentary.I'm not sure it was originally written in Aramaic or Hebrew.
A lot of the Old Testament is oral tradition and was not written at all. In the original there are no capitals, there are no sentences or any structure at all. It would be like having the lyrics to a song but no music.And for the record, I don't think It was originally written in Aramaic or Hebrew either.

Capital letters (or rather upper and lower case) are an invention of the last 2000 years. No script had them. I'm not even sure if *modern* Hebrew uses them. (Their text doesn't look like it, but I can't tell for certain.)In the original there are no capitals,
Of course there were sentences and structure. What they didn't have (nor did the oldest Greek manuscripts of the NT) were spaces between words or punctuation. In other words it looked like this:there are no sentences or any structure at all. It would be like having the lyrics to a song but no music.
