Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Luke 23:31: “For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry tree.?” This is an example of a verse which is unintelligible in the Greek in which it was preserved, but it makes perfect sense when translated into Hebrew. When translating one
Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Isaiah 63:9: “In all their affliction he afflicted…” Here is something I have never understood about the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia or the Kittle which is the standard Masoric text used by our Western Christian translators.

Good Morning Yamon Ki Yesepar; Genesis 12:2-3: “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee.” I have heard many Christians who firmly insist that
