Hi all,
This is no easy task. I know nothing of hebrew so I just thought, what the heck i'll give it a shot anyway.
Gen 5:1
(GNT-V)
(HOT+) זהH2088 ספרH5612 תולדתH8435 אדםH121 ביוםH3117 בראH1254 אלהיםH430 אדםH120 בדמותH1823 אלהיםH430 עשׂהH6213 אתו׃H853
(ISV)
(KJV+) ThisH2088 is the bookH5612 of the generationsH8435 of Adam.H121 In the dayH3117 that GodH430 createdH1254 man,H120 in the likenessH1823 of GodH430 madeH6213 he him;
(KJVR) This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
(LXX) Αὕτη ἡ βίβλος γενέσεως ἀνθρώπων· ᾗ ἡμέρᾳ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν Αδαμ, κατ᾿ εἰκόνα θεοῦ ἐποίησεν αὐτόν·
(Webster) This is the book of the generations of Adam: In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him:
(Anthony's Try For The Heck of it Translation Book) This is a book of the descents of Adam; in the age creates God man, in the resemblence of God makes (him)self.
I tried not to add any words at all, but thats impossible, you got to add words like 'the' and 'a' it seems like. And i tried to use words straight from Strong's. Last but not least, where all the others have put created, i put creates. Strong's has...
bârâ'
baw-raw'
A primitive root; (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes): - choose, create (creator), cut down, dispatch, do, make (fat).
To create. Ain't that like saying I'm going to make/create man.
Anyway, and oh the commas and periods and such, heck, look at all those other translations. It seems like anyone can put almost anything they want, where they wanted. You can see how scholary i am in hebrew.
I gave this a shot because i'm salivating waiting to see what Ray is seeing about creation.
Be brutal. I can take tough love. let me know what you think.
