Regarding Pastor Mark Dever comment on the KJV:
8. The King James Version of the Bible. I can live with the KJV. It is beautifully done. But there’s no need to use it. As people have done throughout the history of translating the Bible, churches should be okay with using a version which translates the languages that were contemporary for Moses and John into language that is contemporary for us today.
Did the ancient old testament church ever format or translate the scriptures of the Old Testamnet into the contemporary language of their day? Assuming that the Hebrew language has changed in time like any other language has change as we think they have?
For example, was the book of Job change so that the people during Ezra or post-Ezra time could better understand it according to the excuse we have today.
Has the Hebrew language in the Old Testamnet always been the same Hebrew language from Moses to John the Baptist or from Genesis to Malachi?
