Translation Examples:
Genesis 22:17
כִּֽי־בָרֵ֣ךְ אֲבָרֶכְךָ֗ וְהַרְבָּ֨ה אַרְבֶּ֤ה אֶֽת־זַרְעֲךָ֙ כְּכֹוכְבֵ֣י הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם
NIV: I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky
NRSV: I will indeed bless you, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven
KJV: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven
KJV mimics the pattern of the Hebrew use of the repeated verb: barek abarekha, harbah arbeh. The infinitive absolute immediately precedes a perfect of imperfect verbal form of the same root in order to emphasize the verbal meaning.
Genesis 4:1
וְהָ֣אָדָ֔ם יָדַ֖ע אֶת־חַוָּ֣ה אִשְׁתֹּ֑ו וַתַּ֙הַר֙ וַתֵּ֣לֶד אֶת־קַ֔יִן וַתֹּ֕אמֶר קָנִ֥יתִי אִ֖ישׁ אֶת־יְהוָֽה׃
NIV: Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man.”
NRSV: Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have produced a man with the help of the LORD.”
KJV: And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Jeremiah 1:17
וְאַתָּה֙ תֶּאְזֹ֣ר מָתְנֶ֔יךָ
NIV: Get yourself ready!
NRSV: But you, gird up your loins
KJV: Thou therefore gird up thy loins
The Hebrew tezor mateneka, does literally mean “gird your loins”. Mothen means “loins”.
Genesis 31:35
כִּי־דֶ֥רֶךְ נָשִׁ֖ים לִ֑י
NIV: I’m having my period
NRSV: the way of women is upon me
KJV: the manner of women is with me
וַיְחַפֵּ֕שׂ וְלֹ֥א מָצָ֖א אֶת־הַתְּרָפִֽים׃
NIV: So he searched but could not find the household gods.
NRSV: So he searched, but did not find the household gods.
KJV: And he searched, but found not the images.
1 Samuel 25:22
אִם־אַשְׁאִ֧יר מִכָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹ֛ו עַד־הַבֹּ֖קֶר מַשְׁתִּ֥ין בְּקִֽיר׃
NIV: if by morning I leave alive one male of all who belong to him!
NRSV: if by morning I leave so much as one male of all who belong to him.
KJV: if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
Qir is “wall”. Mashtin is a participle of shatan, meaning “to urinate”. KJV chooses to use the Hebrew idiom.
