Las cosas necias para avergonzar a los τοὺς σοφούς (la élite educada, inteligente, culta, retóricamente hábil y filosóficamente entrenada)
Read More →ἀλλὰ τὰ μωρὰ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεός ἵνα καταισχύνῃ τοὺς σοφούς… but rather the stupid things of the order the God has selected in order to shame the learned experts… (1 Cor. 1:27 RBT) No hace falta decir que se pueden encontrar algunas cosas seriamente “necias” en la Biblia. Pero esto es más una […]

׆ – The Mysterious Inversion of the Letter Nun
Read More →The inverted nun (נ׆)—the nun hafukha that frames Numbers 10:35–36—is one of the few places where the Hebrew text itself marks a fold rather than merely describing one. Whatever one concludes historically, functionally the sign behaves like an intentional inversion marker, and that is where its aonic force lies. 1. Nun as “seed / continuity” […]

The Translation Venture That Defied the Norms
Read More →Most translation projects typically make slight variations in renderings but generally remain within the same reading and traditional context. Many also lean heavily on the Masoretes’ vowel pointing system, which dates back to the 7th-10th century. Even modern grammarians, spanning the last few centuries, have relied on the Masoretes’ vowel pointing (called niqqud). This project, […]

The true harrowing nature of bible translation, or “when in doubt, sacrifice the woman.”
Read More →It goes without saying that delving honestly into the sacred texts means playing the “devils advocate” and the saying “the devil’s in the details” is more true here than most would realize. The body of scholars and scholarly literature formed over a couple of millennia testify to the reality that it isn’t just “delving into” […]

The Mesapharim – The Dual Heavenly Ones
Read More →Bias matters when it comes to the interpretation of participle verbs, dative nouns, plural words, semantics, syntax, etc. Knowing the syntax is important. Having the right context is paramount. Knowing to leave it alone even when the semantics don’t seem to make sense is equally important such as in the case of seemingly weird statements […]

All in All – To Understand the Whole?
Read More →Everyone has “the key” to unlock the Bible these days, don’t they? The internet now is a mass of Bible mire, undrinkable water, stinky mud, abysmal depths full of monstrosity, quicksand, fiery hell. In short, a colossal sea of uselessness. How did it happen? Well, perhaps, it was missed. The definition of sin is to […]

The Lost John 3:16 Verse
Read More →What if one translated according to the grammatical rules without picking and choosing which grammatical rules to follow in favor of bias or traditions, but just read it at face value without any fear of being burned at a stake? For God so loved.. the “so” is a word that means “thus” or “in this […]

“here and here and in the middle Jesus”
Read More →John’s linguistics are strange and difficult to picture in this verse compared with his word usage in other parts of his writings: …where they staked him, and with him two others, here and here, but the middle, the Jesus. John 19:18 literal What does “here and here” mean? This is odd. Elsewhere, John is a […]

When Scholars and Professors Can’t be Trusted
Read More →A fundamental feature of biblical Hebrew is how it is a binary-gendered language—the whole of it is mainly written lexigraphically in either masculine or feminine. Both the nouns and verbs are constructed accordingly. There are no gender-neutral nouns, with the exception of a few “common noun” constructs which themselves are not always clear. There are […]
