Thanks, Will. I enjoyed getting a more complete understanding of Edersheim's strengths and weaknesses on the Greek OT. Sometimes we are dealing very much with a "mixed bag" - a bunch of truth and insight (Edersheim understanding the Hebrew Torah scroll usage of Isaiah in Luke 4, Edersheim being very clear about Greek OT major deficiencies) combined with a bunch of mishegas (Edersheim buying into the Greek OT as being the source for Jesus and the apostles). This type of internally conflicted stance about the Bible is now almost normal .. outside the King James Bible defenders.

Shalom,
Steven

και κρατησας της χειρος του παιδιου λεγει αυτη ταλιθα κουμι

If I can get a straight answer from you, do you know any other language than English? Any Koine Greek? Hebrew? Anything?

Why is it that some people feel the Bible believer must be bilingual to understand the Bible...?

Well yes, it's a bit of a joy standing up against people who teach others that an inerrant Bible does not exist. What's sad is that they consider such dribble to be "scholarship."
