I dont care about the prots translations of the Bible. They been doing it to their whim ever since Luther. It's not a "prot" translation.
The Greek is the Greek.

Roman Catholics have goofed up this translation just as they did Genesis 3:15 which has lead to so much false theology.

At first Jerome worked from the Greek Old Testament, the Septuagint. But then he established a precedent for all good translators: the Old Testament would have to be translated from the original Hebrew. In his quest for accuracy, Jerome consulted Jewish rabbis.
