Extracted text from Day_5_biblical_terms_outline.pdf:

Biblical Terms Outcome:

  1. consistent translation where desired (source target, translators 1 2 3 ) 2. as you translate, there will be greater efficiency because you will be able to refer to the word or words the team has decided to use for a particular source language term

What you will learn:

  1. the potential dangers associated with using the Biblical terms tools 2. how to enter your translation (rendering) for a Greek or Hebrew term 3. how to check if you are being consistent (here everywhere = verse Bible)

Focus... the decisions you make regarding a term will need to be reviewed

KNOW - STUDY Awareness of issues Examples of one to one, one to many and many to one. Terms found in Obadiah Obadiah 1 Oba 7 Oba 7 Oba 11 Oba 21 --- dony (424 references in Bible) Lord, Master (only to refer to God) --- brt (262x) covenant, treaty --- lm (209x) intact state; unconcern, ease; prosperity; welfare, condition; peace; friendship; peace, salvation --- zr (69x) alien --- miya (27x ) salvation

SKILL - PRACTICE Using the Biblical Terms window: 1. arrange the window and columns within the window in a helpful way 2. enter your translation (double click box or drag/drop word into box) 3. view history of a term that has undergone changes (team changes) 4. verify consistency on my translation

Apply: In Obadiah, open the Biblical terms window and enter your translation for each word

Review of desired outcome: Be able to easily compare terms in our translations with their source text counterparts.
