Last week I read a blog post from the Better Bibles Blog discussing the proper translation of Hebrews 1:7 and the Old Testament passage it quotes, Psalm 104:4. The article itself goes into some depth, but the main thrust of it was this: most translations translate Hebrews 1:7 inaccurately. Both the Old Testament and the New Testament passages should read something like ‘appointing the winds his messengers and flames of fire his servants’.

Short answer: Pretty much. It’s just the ‘just’ I don’t agree with. The iPad is pretty much a big iPod touch—and that’s exactly what it should be.
After all, what prevents people from using the iPod touch as their everyday computing device? The major reason is the screen size.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’ve undoubtedly heard about Apple’s spanking-new device: the iPad. And while this is one of the most hyped products ever—people have anticipated it possibly more than the iPhone—some have their doubts about it, even calling it an iDud. Just because they won’t be getting one.

I was thinking about tongue-twisters the other day. I think the most effective ones are two or three words long. Also, there are a lot of tricky two-word phrases—it’s not just a small few that are hard to say.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading recently on the subject of translation and, more specifically, Bible translation. So I thought I would talk about the things I’ve been reading about. I’ll also be giving some links to some good reading materials.
I expect to be writing rather often on this subject over a period of time, so I’ll start now with some introductory remarks.
