or:When you have a question about the bible, the first thing is to keep reading. In most cases it will be explained, or you will find more examples so you can figure it out. The only thing I know about Hebrew is that it has an odd verb form that is usually translated \"I did something,\" but should be translated \"I was forced to allow something.\" That makes a big change in the meaning of many verses.In general, the bible is to be taken literally if something is possible. For example, serpents don't talk so that is to be taken as a figure of speech. A figure of speech is a departure from the normal patterns of language for the purpose of emphasizing something.

or:Judaism teaches that while God\u2019s name exists in written form, it is too holy to be pronounced. The ancient Hebrews did use and pronounce the divine name,(Exodus 3:15; Psalm 135:13). In the first half of the third century [B.C.E.], a great change in the use of the name of God is to be noticed, which brought about many changes in Jewish theological and philosophical lore, the influences of which are felt up to this very day.\u201d One of the effects of the loss of the name is that the concept of an anonymous God helped to create a theological vacuum in which Christendom\u2019s Trinity doctrine was more easily developed.\u2014Exodus 15:1-3.Please go to jw.org and read the \"New World Translation\" Bible. You will see the Creator's name in the correct places. The titles LORD and GOD is placed where the divine name Jehovah should be. You will be able to understand when Jehovah is speaking or Jesus. The bible will then come alive. Psalm 83:18.For more information on this subject and others, please go to jw.org \"Online Library.\" Also for free downloads, publications or read online.
