The translation I quoted from for this verse is the American Jewish Version, published by the Jewish Publication Society of America, in 1917. It is a well-respected translation in Judaism. It was used in the book The Pentateuch and the Haftorahs, edited by Dr. J. H. Hertz, late chief rabbi of the British Empire. Obviously he was a very important rabbi, and he used that translation. One thing I like about that translation is that it consistently translates the name of the most holy musical instrument, the ram's horn, called shophar in Hebrew, as 'horn', while Christian translations are very inconsistent here, sometimes saying 'horn' and sometimes 'trumpet', even though the Bible also has silver trumpets, which should be always distinguished from the horn. But no translation is perfect. And Hertz's commentary is sometimes biased against Christianity. But then all commentaries are flawed, because we are all flawed. Only Jesus is infallible. | |
