Prostrate in Bible Vs Quran (1) the translation of the original word
This article presents the translation of one simple Hebrew word.
The article shows that 95% of the Eminent Biblical Scholars are untruthful in their translation.
The Hebrew word of this article is הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ
The Word root: שָׁחָה
The Word Strong’s Number is 7812 (Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary)
The Word meaning is: To prostrate or to bow down.
In the original Hebrew verse of 1 Chronicles 16:29 says:
הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה = הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ Yahweh = הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ Jehovah = Prostrate to Jehovah = Bow down to Jehovah.
O Eminent Biblical Scholars, are these two words too difficult to translate?
Study of 20 different English versions of the Bible reveals that only one version (5%) translates the two Hebrew words correctly.
On the other hand, 19 0ut of the 20 (95%) versions studied translate the two Hebrew words to Worship the LORD (Lord) in 16 versions and Worship Jehovah in two versions.
The strangest translation was “Enter his presence! Stand resplendent”.
