Why So Many Translations?
Because the Bible's original words were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, every English Bible is a translation from the original languages.
The different approaches to translation philosophy take into consideration diverse meanings, contexts, and cultures as well as grammatical decisions like tense, voice, and parts of speech from a variety of available manuscripts.
