I listen to the ESV bible on audio, and it has some of the most cockamamie translation rules ever! In one Psalm David says, “I will not be afraid of many thousands of people...”

People??? We all know back then it was MEN who amassed an army of thousands, lol. (It only took one woman, in various cases, to bring powerful men down.)

My favourite mangling of the Bible along these lines is “And I will make you fisherpeople,” which always brings to my mind the Fisher Price people I played with back in 1974.
