kc,
Thanks for your response.

It must be neat to be able to translate a Hebrew passage and then to confirm what you translated against the english translation. What a feeling of accomplishment that must be.

it can overwhelm you since we learned English over the period of 10 years, and I only have 3 or 4 semesters to learn Hebrew

Its amazing the grace God gives people to accomplish what they do in a 24-hour period. Apart from God's help, I can't imagine how you and others do it. Learn Hebrew, teach your kids Latin, serve in a church...

As an exercise the other evening, I printed out John 1:1-3 from the Vulgate and we translated it. That was fun. Their eyes lit up as we went through the words that became familiar after we put it all together, because they have heard John 1:1-3 in English a few times. It is almost like putting a puzzle together. Good stuff.

Amen. I can imagine how fun and satisfying that must have been for your kids when they started to recognize the various pieces of the puzzle and realized what the verse was.

Bob
