Furore over new Danish Bible

[Martin Marprelate]

Have a read of this: Denmark: Fake Bible Must be Revoked
The gist of it is that the new Bible changes Psalms 121:4 to read, 'He who watches over us will neither slumber nor sleep.' 'Israel' is airbrushed out of the verse.

Now as a non-Dispensational, I believe that the verse does cover Christians, but at the same time, it is not for the translator to impose his views on the text, but to render it as accurately as possible. Israel is in the original; it should stay in the translation.

What does the team think? Would you be happy to have such a translation in your English Bible?

No, thanks. That is clearly changing the Word of God to fit human thinking.

That is an overstep. They are providing commentary in the text instead of translating.

Reminds me of The New English Bible. Genesis 11:1, "Once upon a time . . . ." Psalms 22:16, ". . . hacked off my hands and my feet . . . ."

Well seeing how the church will be gone in less than a year, and the Jews will be doing the US part, seems reasonable.

Is God trying to warn the church, or just telling humans time is up?

But is it the King James Version

More guesswork.
