Jerome: The Forerunner in Bible Translation

Jerome’s Latin name was Eusebius Hieronymus. He was born about 346 C.E. Jerome’s translation of the Hebrew Scriptures was considerably more than simply some revision of a text that existed in his day. For centuries it altered the direction of Bible study and translation. “The Vulgate,” said historian Will Durant, “remains as the greatest and most influential literary accomplishment of the fourth century.” There is no denying it, Jerome would say things that were unkind and critical of others though often clever, with a contentious personality. He alone redirected Bible research back to the Hebrew text. With a sharp eye, he studied and compared ancient Hebrew and Greek Bible manuscripts, which are not available to us today. His work also came before that of the Jewish Masoretes. Therefore, the Vulgate is very valuable for examining alternate readings within Bible texts. Jerome’s translation would become the basic Bible for Western Christianity, while the Greek Septuagint (LXX) continues to be used in Eastern Christianity even to this day.

AN INVITATION TO LIFE AND AN INVITATION TO DEATH

Proverbs 9:16-17 Updated American Standard Version (UASV) 16 “Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” And to him who is in want of heart she says, 17 “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”

It appears that if the state of Florida vaccinates any wealthy Floridians, CNN attacks Governor DeSantis, implying without evidence that he cares more about the lives of the rich than the poor. (CNN apparently believes well-to-do Americans must go to the end of the line.)

Why the repeated and baseless attacks on DeSantis?

Because he is a possible Republican contender for president in 2024 who can boast having taken the correct actions concerning SARS-CoV-2, preserving the liberties of Floridians and keeping its economy booming.

I will be growing tobacco this summer. I'd like to start the process of learning how to make my own cigars. At the very least, I hope to set aside the leaves to use as barter for when the SHTF. Lot of work ahead of me!
