So the "Christianoids" have retranslated the bible to agree with their
prejudgements.  Are there any people who read Hebrew well enough to
to dispute this?  This is the only version I have heard that translates
this passage this way.  None of the Jewish people with whom I have
discussed this passage have translated the Hebrew this way either.
