"Our sacred literature does not use obscure language, but describes most things in words clearly indicating their meaning. Therefore it is necessary at all times to delve into the literal meaning of words to achieve complete understanding of what is actually meant."

"Reading the Bible in translation is like kissing your new bride through a veil"
--Haim Nachman Bialik (Jewish Poet, 1873-1934)
