For the first chapter of the book of Hebrews Compare the translation in the King James Version with any other version that is available to you. List the differences that you notice. I used The New American Standerd Bible along with theKJV. The only differences I see are in the language TheKJV is a little harder to understand because of the language. The NASV is more undersstandible because they use modern language. I feel the meaning is the same in both versions. Some verses are combined but that doesn't change the meaning. 2. Do the same for Psalm 45. I feel the same applies to Psalms, the use of more up to date language in the NASB compared to the KJV, And verses being combined are the biggest differences. But the overall meaning is the same in both versions. 3. Which translation or translations of the Bible do you use? what strengths and weaknesses do you find in these translations? The King James or Authorized Version is the one I use along with The New American Standered Bible. The King James is strong because it was translated by gifted scholars who took pride and time to do good work. They were faithfull to the original text. This makes it accurate eventhough the translation can be improved by modern discoveries. It is weak because the language is hard to understand for most people. The New American Standered Bible is close to the KJV in it's strengths because it has the same meanings as the KJV, the language has been updated so it is more understandible. The only weakness I can see is if the people translating it missunderstood themeaning of the KJV. 4 If possible look up Sargon in a Bible dictionary and tell what that dictionary says about him. If it is not possible for you to look up Sargon then simply state what you learned about him in lesson ten. Sargon prince of the sea ),He was one of the greatest Assyrian kings. He is only mentioned once in Scripture ( Isaiah 20:1 ). He was the successor of Shalmaneser, and it is thought he was a usurper, and his son was Sennacheribs. He reigned from 721 to 702, B.C. He was a great and successful warrior. During the space of fifteen years, from B.C. 721 to 706, he gives an account of his warlike expeditions against Babylonia and Susiana on the south, Media on the east, Armenia and Cappadocia toward the north, Syria, Palestine, Arabia and Egypt toward the west and southwest. Hee is mentioned by name in Scripture because In 712 B.C. one of his generals took Ashdod. Sargon deserves special mention among the Assyrian kings, because he buildt useful works, and one of the most magnificent of the Assyrian palaces.

B specific about titles authors and the use that you have made or would like to make of these books. I would like to use commentaries that will help me get abetter understanding of hard passages. Such as, Matthew Henry and Jamieson, Fausset and Brown and also the inter Varcisity Christian Fellowship by Davidson, Stibbs, and Kevan. I will check these out as well as any others I can find in accessible formats. Also I would like to use bible dictionaries to find out themeanings of words and how they are used, such as, pomogrant, a farthing, a cherub. Learning ages and locations of places, such as, Jerusalem. the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia sounds like one I would like to have access to because it has five printed volumes and would cover a wealth of material. There are others such as, Merrill F. Unger’s NewBible Dictionary and Halley’s Pocket Bible Handbook that is arranged under the various Bible books. As well as other bible dictionaries in accessible format to find the best ones for me. I would like to have a complete, standard concordance to more easiely understand the translation of words in the Bible, such as, Young and Strong. books on Bible introduction would be great to have for more indepth information on who wrote different books of the Bible and when things took place, such as, which Gospel was written first, who wrote Judges, When did Paul visit Rome, and When was the Old Testament canon closed? The New Testament Introduction by Thiessen is standard. But there are several for the Old Testament, such as, Unger’s Introductory Guide to the Old Testament can be valuible, Old Testament Introduction by E. J. Young is good and more advanced. Inspiration and Canonicity of the Bible, deals with some of these subjects in a more popular way. by r. Larod Hairis According to the writer of this book. Discussion of the higher criticism The Five Books of Moses by O. t. Allis is standard material. A Survey of Old Testament introduction by Gleson L. archer jr is an exsilent book on Old Testament introduction. If I can find them I will check most of these out. for accessiblity.
