Razar: but the modern bible is a translation, I have no doubt of the underlying truth to the storys, but the wording can make all the difference. I just wonder how people reading modren versions can trust them. They have been through so many hands that they have been corrupted. for instance King james reference Thoushalt suffer not the witch 2 live, I (with my admittidly basic hebrew) read as posioner or asssasin
