Why we need bible study tools

The word Egypt is an English translation of an ancient African word and a Greek/hebrew concordance or books about ancient African history will confirm this fact. 

If your bible uses the word Egypt this means you might need a concordance or Latin, German dictionary during your study because many biblical words are impacted by translations. 

A Translation is defined as the process of translating words or text into another language which can sometimes change definitions. 

The bible has also been impacted by what is called  transliteration - a type of conversion of a word that involves swapping letters, but for now we will focus on translations. 

A concordance or other translations of ancient words could provide original definitions and pronunciations for biblical words.

Earth and World 

For example, the word Earth appears in Genesis and for some people it defines the planet but ancient text defined the English word earth as land, region, or territory. Some of the definitions of earth are Latin- Terram, terra, Greek - ghay, and Hebrew haadamah, ha'aretz, haadmah and Somali, dhulkii, dhulkaad and dhulka. None of these words represent the planet or the world 

Earth and world are have different definitions.  

 The word World first appears in the book of 1st Samuel 2;8  and is defined as Country. The greek word for world is tebel, is the hebrew is tevel, globe as region or territory. German erdboden is ground. The Latin word is terrae, meaning country or region but the word world in the book of Isaiah 38:11 represents the planet. 

God & Lord

The words God & Lord are defined as magistrate, officer, ruler or a supreme celestrial entity. 

The Old Testament includes translations & transliteration of pyramid text that were translated into Hebrew, Greek, Latin/Romanized German and Old English/Anglicized. The new testament was translated from Greek to Latin, Hebrew, German and the English languages and now to Various tribes of the conquered West Africa,  

Ancient words had no vowels and therefore the vowels that we see in European &  Hebrew words, were added thousands or millions of years after the original text was written. As I previously stated some of the words in the bible have been impacted by transliteration and translations, these words have different meanings today. 

If the word Earth is a region instead of the planet this means Noah was the ancestor of a group of people who in modern times have been conquered by Rome and England. This means he is the ancestor or chieftain of a group of people not the world. 

Please use bible study tools when studying the bible because it is rooted in history and we all need to examine it carefully.
