LOL, English sure did bring a lot of false baggage to the table. My study of the bible through Hebrew came from my study of the history/heritage of the founders and what they studied. Until then, I had been a good little Lutheran ELCA sheeple. But I really kicked my studies into high gear when the pastor said Hebrew was of no significance. Our founding fathers begged to differ with him. Who knew French & Hebrew were the official languages of the schools back then. And yes while Latin was also required for jurisprudence studies, they also knew that the language of their "God" of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob was Hebrew & nothing else.
The two things they read the most...the Bible and the law.
