Thread Name: BS: How the Bible altered how we speak
Subject: RE: BS: How the Bible altered how we speak
I was actually referring to the KJV of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament to Christians) which comes from Hebrew/Aramaic via Greek. For instance, where KJV says, "Thou shalt not kill", the Hebrew is properly translated, "murder".

I cannot speak to the accuracy of the Christian scriptures from the Greek, a language I have not studied at all.
