24: \u201cSaw\u201d or \u201cWas Afraid\u201d? \u2014 How One Vowel Changes the Story<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you read the Bible, have you ever thought, \u201cWow, the meaning changes so much with a different translation\u201d? Today we look at a clear example in <strong>1 Kings 19:3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scene is this: The prophet Elijah has just received a death threat from Queen Jezebel. Japanese Bible translations show two different versions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>New Japanese Bible 2017<\/strong>: \u201cHe <strong>knew<\/strong> this and stood up, and left to save his life.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Japan Bible Society Translation<\/strong>: \u201cElijah <strong>was afraid<\/strong> when he heard this and quickly ran away to save his life.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Which is correct? \u201cKnew\u201d or \u201cWas afraid\u201d? The meaning is very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. The Secret of Hebrew: Vowel Marks Change the Meaning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Old Testament was written in Hebrew. Ancient Hebrew had <strong>only consonants<\/strong>. Vowels were added later as small dots and lines. The word in question is <strong>\u05d5\u05d9\u05e8\u05d0<\/strong> (written with consonants as \u201cv-y-r-\u2019\u201d).<br>This can be read in two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b7\u05bc\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0<\/strong><strong> (vayyare)<\/strong> \u2192 \u201cHe <strong>saw<\/strong>\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0<\/strong><strong> (vayyira)<\/strong> \u2192 \u201cHe <strong>was afraid<\/strong>\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Just one change in vowel marks changes the meaning. Interesting, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Why does the New Japanese Bible say \u201cknew\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hebrew verb \u201cto see\u201d (<em>ra\u2019ah<\/em>) can also mean \u201cto understand\u201d or \u201cto realize.\u201d So the translators thought Elijah <strong>understood the danger<\/strong> and acted. That is why they wrote \u201cknew and stood up.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Why does the other translation say \u201cwas afraid\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Japan Bible Society chose the other possible reading: \u201cwas afraid.\u201d This shows Elijah\u2019s fear after Jezebel\u2019s threat. It makes him look very human and weak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which is correct?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both have old evidence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>Masoretic Text<\/strong> (the standard Hebrew text) traditionally reads \u201csaw\u201d and added vowels for that meaning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Greek Septuagint<\/strong> and some old manuscripts reflect \u201cwas afraid.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Both fit the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cWas afraid\u201d \u2192 Elijah collapses in fear after his big victory.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cKnew\u201d \u2192 Elijah sees the danger and makes a wise decision to escape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. What does this teach us?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both readings give us something important:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Even people of faith can feel fear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Faith and wise decisions can go together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. A Hint for Today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also feel fear in hard times. Sometimes we panic, sometimes we think carefully. Both are normal. And the Bible says: <strong>God never leaves us, whatever we feel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One small vowel changes the story\u2019s tone. But this difference gives us a deep question:<br>\u201cWhat do I do when I am afraid?\u201d<br>\u201cWhat do I do when I understand the danger?\u201d<br>The Bible is a book that speaks to these real-life questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u8056\u66f8\u3092\u8aad\u3080\u3068\u304d\u3001\u300c\u8a33\u304c\u9055\u3046\u3068\u3053\u3093\u306a\u306b\u610f\u5473\u304c\u5909\u308f\u308b\u3093\u3060\uff01\u300d\u3068\u601d\u3046\u3053\u3068\u304c\u3042\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093\u304b\u3002\u4eca\u65e5\u306f\u305d\u306e\u5178\u578b\u4f8b\u3001 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1087","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-8","category-12"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1087"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1088,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1087\/revisions\/1088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1087"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1087"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fbi.futakotamagawa.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1087"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
