RE: Language That Relates Us 🌀 Lev (לב) - Heart

in #language7 years ago

Quite an educative post, most times mistranslations go further than just the verbal misuse of words in communication if one where to look deeper and see that written translations are flawed then one would question the contents of let's say the "bible", most times many individuals read and accept whole a text without questioning its authenticity even though deep down their instincts and subconscious tells them "that doesn't seem right", a common happening especially with devout believers, I trust and believe one day a lot will be properly translated and a lot of light will be shed on some mysteries, don't get me wrong I'm not putting the bible to question I'm saying the contents in some sections may have been subject to mistranslations by various versions over time either intentionally or by ignorance. Thanks for such an enlightening post once again. I enjoyed this.

Thanks very much for your appreciation and comment. I generally agree too. And believe that Torah really can't be accurately translated, merely approached.

Setting aside subject matter, context, plot, the characters etc., the simplest proof for this is that since Hebrew letters are also numbers, all the "hidden" numeric data is immediately lost with any translation.

Things are coming full circle though. B'Ez"H very soon...

More thanks to you, have a blisful Sunday, looking forward to more posts from you.
