That is the literal translation. The question becomes what does the term entail? That depends upon who you ask and at what point in time you ask the question.

Is there a reason you posted your query in the Christianity subforum instead of either the Judaism subforum or the more general Abrahamic Religions? I can only assume that you weren't interested in a Jewish perspective. I didn't see your posts because I don't do the internet on Shabbat. I will...

Rib? Maybe Apple? Nope

Which Bible, or at least which version of Hebrew scripture?

@wil - It is “stoop” unless you were doing on a play on words to make apoint.

@Yahweh kid - I had been working on a response to your questions to me. My responses often take longer because my real life and its responsibilities are always my first priorities. I had been working on a response, but no longer. I have been following your questions and responses to other forum...

@servantuitions - Welcome to the forum. I’m guessing you can pretty easily figure out the road I am travelling.

@wil - I have no idea what you are referring to when you mention “the five gospels”. Could you desvribe a bit more fully? As for Lamsa, aren’t there really two questions? There is the question of Lama’s translation, but there is also a question as to the Peshitta itself.
