This phrase was just a colorful way of speaking of males.... The Hebrew words literally translate to our more modern language of urinates or makes water against or on a wall.... we shouldn't make a big deal out of it.... but as George said probably not to use that translation in Sunday School classes...… but that is what the original manuscripts say so if you don't like it take it up with God or just stop using the KJV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Incidentally, just asking in love, can you say or remember what verse was used to birth you into the Kingdom, ...Peter gave us his verse - Is 40:6-8) I was taught the Word of God is like a many faceted precious gem stone, we can see different aspects (Truths) with how the Light shines through each facet. Also, what if, there was an unbelieving man listening to a Holy Spirit inspired teaching and the pastor was reading from King James and this particular verse was the exact verse the Holy Spirit was going to use to convict/enlighten him of his lost condition..., I personally believe it's a dangerous thing to play with the Word of God and we set ourselves up as judges as to what is politically correct rather than just read it as God said it. Love, peace, ...Happy New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also whenever it uses the other word for donkey. I'm old enough to where I shouldn't be so amused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
