What is an example of the 700 missing words in most bibles? |
|
I received the following inquiry from a reader:
I just bought your Ancient Roots Bible, but I do not understand what do you mean by "those 700 missing words" stated in the Preface. Please explain with an example.
Thank you for your inquiry! One very significant word that is missing from virtually all other bible translations is the word "Oasis". There is a write-up on the AncientRoots website under the "Word for the Week" section.
There is also an article under the KNOWetal.com website (which is getting started to support the deeper questions about bible translations) which I wrote called "The big surprise on Old Testament Vocabulary" Finally, I've written a new book that has just been issued called Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Surprising Bias in the Old Testament. There is an entire chapter on the subject. But there is also additional material explaining the strengths and weaknesses of 20 bible versions on the market. It is available for order on the here on the website or on Amazon.com.
