[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember when the Living Bible came out. It was so full of mistranslations that it was obviously just a rewrite of the King James Version. The first English translation that I know of is the Great Bible commissioned by Henry VIII. Later on, King James commissioned his famous version. The King James Version has more beautiful English but a lot more mistranslations. But the fact is that all English versions are full of mistranlations. As a child, I remember hearing about all these arguments about whether to use the King James translation or the Catholic translation. To a Jew, this argument sounds silly. We read the original. [/quote] Yeah, we do. But I wouldn't hold our standard translations (the one alongside the text in your standard tanach) as great literature, and that is what most of us rely on.[/quote]
