JEWISH BIBLE - BOOK OF PSALMS - TEHILLIM IBD

Sinopsi

Jewish BibleFirst, you need to know that the Bible was originally written in the holy language, which today is called Hebrew.The Tanach itself went through a series of translations from language to language until todayâÇÖs English language.As a whole, the Tanakh was translated from the holy language into Greek, and from Greek into Latin, and from there into the ancient Agalic, and then into the more modern English.The problem is when translating from language to language the original meaning is lost.In the translation of languages there is no realistic possibility of making a completely accurate translation since in every language there are several translation options for most words, and each word has a different connotation and also differs to a certain extent from the exact connotation of the original word in the source language.For example, it is possible to translate the word -שמ×Ö×Ñ. sky into English for Sky and Heaven. Two suitable options that each have a different meaning from the other, and also slightly different from the full connotation of the word sky שמ×Ö×Ñ. For this reason, along with the attempt to bridge the cultural difference, every translation is actually also an interpretation. In many cases, the translators took the approach of extensive translation, in which the translation adds details and interpretations beyond the original text, changes the content, and describes what is happening in a way that is more suitable to the cultural concepts accepted for the period and region. In the common translations these changes are found - to a certain degree of change - in tens of percent of the verses. The general public in these periods knew the Bible only from the translations, and therefore in different regions they knew different versions of the same texts, according to the local halachic belief.The most classic example of this is this:In the book of Exodus chapter 34 verse 29 it is explained that - KARAN [׺׿ן] is the skin of Moses face.áThe word KARAN [׺׿ן] has at least two meanings:A. Radiant.B. A horn, like that of a bull.There are other meanings to this word that do not belong to this introduction.áAn incorrect translation of the Book of Exodus by Jerome [the Vulgate] into Latin led to an error in the interpretation of the phrase - The horn of the skin of his face. [Exodus 34:29]. And because of this, in Renaissance sculptures, MoseâÇÖs forehead was added Horns.And this is the verse in its entirety according to our translation [compare it to your Bible] - So Moses came down from Mount Sinai. And as Moses came down from the mountain bearing the two tablets of the Pact, Moses was not aware that the skin of his face was radiant, since he had spoken with God.The Book of Psalms The book is an anthology of Hebrew religious hymns. In the Jewish and traditions, there are 150 psalms. The book is divided into five sections, each ending with a doxology, or a hymn of praise. There are several types of psalms, including hymns or songs of praise, communal and individual laments, royal psalms, imprecation, and individual thanksgivings. The book also includes psalms of communal thanksgiving, wisdom, pilgrimage and other categories.
