remarkably effective translation for persons who are already familiar with the Hebrew original, but often misleading much identification with the original text
can lead to a tendency to try to improve on it by correcting its apparent inaccuracies and glossing over its stylistic weaknesses and failures. A tendency to
alter the meaning of the text to fit the translator’s own presubpositions is too often found in translation made by those who most firmly declare their indenfication
