Inspired writing and reading

If the authors were inspired do we need to be inspired to understand the fulness of their meaning and intent?

Was the bible written as a substitute to the leading of the Holy Spirit or were the authors merely adding to the tree of knowledge.

Hebrew contains idioms that are semantically motivated by conceptual metaphor, metonymy, and symbolic acts representing ideas and concepts. Knowing these unique the meanings of these forms of expression are often essential in the process of understanding the meaning of the authors. While we can study to get a better understanding the key to understanding inspired scripture is to be inspired by the same spirit when we read the text.

As you examine just a few phrases in the Biblical text note also the alternate possibilities based on the variety of words available to choose from in the English for each Hebrew word.

How can we verify the truth even with an intense study of the available early codex and fragments if we translate Hebrew words into so many different English words?

Besides multiple variations in the translated words we may also observe variations in the original Hebrew words with letters added or deleted from what we see in the original transcript that often go unaccounted for in the translations to any given language.

The mathematical combination of possible translations becomes astronomical with these observed variations. Many words in the Hebrew language can have more than one distinctive meaning. The Hebrew language has also been in the hands of people with their own agendas who think like the Pharisees did at the time of Jesus the Christ for centuries.
