Well, why did the NWT translators always render nephesh and `olam for
example with the same English word, when these Hebrew words have a wide
range of meaning?
If I may inteject, this is not correct, NWT uses one word for each concept AS FAR AS THE CONTEXT PERMITS.
Olam is NOT always translated "time/s indefinite". ...
Well, thank you for the correction, but Rolf must have misled us because
I am almost certain that he said that these renderings are entirely
consistent (one word for each word, NOT one word for each concept!)
regardless of the context.
