<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 5136442, member: 36&quot;]English is... weird.&nbsp; If we don&#039;t have a word for something, the language tends to adopt wholesale words from other languages. (hence our spelling contests, something other languages neither have nor need.) Sometimes the spellings are changed and sometimes not.&nbsp; At other times, the words are changed out of recognition.&nbsp; How it should have been translated...dunno ... even native English speakers are confused by it sometimes.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was raised with Bibles translated directly from the original Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. They did keep the traditional English names in the translations I&#039;m familiar with - too confusing otherwise.&nbsp;&nbsp; Translating Genesis as Being/Existence makes perfect sense to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
