Dear Barry,

Thank you for your remarks.

It was probably the translation of Tyndale since roughly 75% of the Tanakh
was Tyndale's translation used by the translators of the AV (about 80% for
NT). Tyndale did learn and know Hebrew well and Greek even better. His view
was that translating Hebrew into English word by word was easier than it was
in Latin.


Rev. Bryant J. Williams III
