Proverbs 25:23

The north wind brings forth rain, And a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

Pro 25:23

The north wind brings rain and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

Proverbs 25:23

The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

Prov 23 As a north wind brings rain,

      so a sly tongue brings angry looks.

I dont' know, four different versions four different meanings, which is correct?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

none. Only the original hebrew is absolutely perfect. Any translation will lose something in the process.

[Guest shiloh357]

was Mishnaic hebrew, the original---or biblical hebrew?

parts of Daniel were in aramiac originally.

would that disqualify Daniel as being authentic?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Nope. Daniel was inspired by the Holy Spirit. That qualifies it.

In what way?

[Guest shiloh357]

it has been suggested the proper word for other places lion was translated, karu should have been...

What other places should karu have been used? To be honest, your question comes off a bit vague. Could you clarify what you are wanting to know?

[Guest shiloh357]

IMO, this makes for a compelling possibility that the term "K'ari" (like the lion), as used in this Psalm, originated through a very understandable scribal error (which was then faithfully propagated by the Masoretic scribes). The rendering of "pierced" then was retained (as reflected in the LXX for example) from the use of "Karu" in some of the more ancient witnesses and not from any extrapolated or allegorical allusions from the term "K'ari" (i.e. a lion piercing with its teeth or claws).

If, then, the term used here was originally a conjugation of the verb "Karah", the allegory in Psalm 22:16 would read something like: ". . . for dogs have encircled me . . . karu - they dig (or possibly gnaw; perhaps even in the sense of the Hebrew idiom "making a banquet" much as we use the phrase "dig in" - at my hands and my feet."

Are you attempting to assert that Psalm 22 is not a Messianic prophecy?

I've been trying to understand the Jewish Bible but certain words are foreign to me.

Can anyone tell me what "Tanakh" means?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It simply means scriptures.

[hupo]

as that article states, it is an anacronym

T- torah (instruction)

N- Neve'im (prophets)

K - Kevutim (wisdom writings)

TNK = tenach = the (old testament) bible

except the typo Kevutim should be Ketuvim

[Eliyahuw]

I like to learn Hebrew.

But I sense a "My Version's better than yours" atmosphere.

Let's keep to the topic!!!

well of the 4 versions that was quoted, the third one was the correct translation. The other three changed the meaning totally.
