To understand the Scriptures correctly, you have to build on the right foundation. There are many translations available today, all translated according to the people’s perspective on what they thought is the correct meaning of the words or phrases or sentences. This can be a theoretical exercise doing it according to the language rules, but you can miss out on the understanding of what it really meant. You can then translate the wrong word, giving a wrong interpretation by the reader. To translate correctly, you need to understand the traditions, history and idioms, to get the true meaning. The Hebrew Language is said to be a lazy language, because it has no vowels but only consonants.
