Translation and interpreting are almost arcane (esoteric) from the perspective of most people who are not intimately involved in the practice. Sometimes its like trying to explain a 3D object to someone who only exists in 2D.
So glad you could appreciate the point.
After only a few years of working in the translation industry, I came to realize that no translation can perfectly capture the full meaning of the original. It just doesn't happen.
In the case of the bible, this is why its so important to connect in heart with he Holy Spirit, so that our thought, understanding and sense of things can be raised above the merely literal level, and into a more transcendent realization.
