Post by n***@live.comI just read an article that uses The Soncino as their reference.
I have never heard of this book and did some research on it.
It is said to be the most accurate of translations.
Sam, or anyone, do you know of this book?
Last I knew, "Soncino" was a 14 volume set that is
more of a commentary along with said translation.
There is also, a "Soncino" translation of Talmud.
Which is also highly touted, but that is not the
"Bible".
Nancy, *all* translations claim accuracy, or that
their translation is one of the best. And there are
those, who claim that such and such translation
is the most accurate. Take a look at the
KJV onlyists, they tout and claim it is the most
accurate.
And:
*All* translations, are "flavoured" by the inflected
beliefs of the translators. ***All*** of them.
I am not saying that "Soncino" is not accurate,
however, neither am I giving it a nod of approval.
It is a "flavour", just like any other "flavour".
Baskin Robbins had 31 flavours of ice cream
once upon a time. We have a multitude of
"flavours" of translations as well.
Just so that you know, I have read several Jewish
"flavours". They are "flavours", just like any other.
Post by n***@live.comAnyhow, the article says the names such as "bright
and moning star", "light bringer", "day star", etc. is
a rank or function that the Being does.
I didn't read the article, but I do know that to be
correct.
Thus, why said one, heylel, is ben_shakhar, son of
the dawn. Or, son of the first light. Thus, secondary
or lower in rank / position, to "dawn" or the "first light".
As for the whole "Jesus" and "Satan" are brothers,
that is mere bullshit in my opinion. Colossians
[cf Col 1:15-18] clearly states that all things, both in
heaven and on earth, were created for and through
him [Jesus], for he is *before* all things.
That includes the "satan" character. Thus, if you
believe that Yeshayahu [Isaiah] 14 is refering to
the "satan" character, that same character is clearly
described as being ben_shakhar, son of the dawn,
or son of the first light. That "first light", the "dawn"
of creation, was the light created in
Bere'shit [Gen] 1:3. Before the heaven and earth.
Before any of the host of the heavens, whether
angel, archangel, cherubim or seraphim.
Just as the "wisdom" of Mishle [Proverbs] 8, was
brought forth, before the heaven and earth.
