Thread Name: Folklore: Shepherds' counting systems: British?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Shepherds' counting systems: British?
I am trying to work out whether the biblical three score and 10 is a literal translation, but am stymied by search engines throwing up vast strings of sites which seem to regard the King James version as the original. Does anyone know what it says in Hebrew? Or even whether the psalms were originally in Hebrew or some earlier semitic language?
