Translating the King James Bible into Hebrew would be counterproductive. You would be starting with a flawed source and the result could only be more flawed.
If you are interested in the Hebrew source material there are several Hebrew "Bibles" availible online. I personaly use the Hebrew Bible: Andersen Forbes Analysed Text in the Logos software. It like most if not all other Hebrew "Bibles" is based off of the Masoretic text. I would also recomend checking the Dead Sea Scrolls whenever possible. Getting a Hebrew "Bible" is simple and relativly cheap. The only way I know to get a transcription of the Dead Sea Scrolls is through logos, and it's nearly $200 on top of the base Logos package. Worth it if you can afford it though. Otherwise you can you the Abeg, Flint, Ulrich translation, which is great in that it highlights the differencs between the MT and the DSS. |

There are no good English translations. They range from bad to horrible. Even if there was a good one there is not reason to translate back from the English to the Hebrew. We have the oldest manuscripts of the Hebrew so why would you not use those. English bibles are tanslations of Latin that was translated from old Latin which was translated from Greek whish was translated from Hebrew, so why would you add yet another step. If you want to examine what the Hebrew text shows I gave you some resources, but if you want to translate from English to Hebrew I don't know where you would start or why you would want to. |
