Yes, and I notice you completely ignore my point, agreeing with you, that language changes -- and asking you what you think that implies about the interpretation of this little book we're discussing.
Hey, I can't say I blame you.

Anyhow, your point is moot, because the example I gave you was Hebrew.
That is what makes the point. The fact is, the word "faith" also appears in the New Testament, which was written in Greek, so appealing to the Hebrew OT is pointless.

So you want a source discussing Bible translations of the word "faith" with the caveat of not being from a Theological site? Good luck with that one.
No. Once again, I invite you to brush up on your reading skills. I want a source discussing translations of "faith" from Hebrew to English that are done by scholars. I'm not looking for "Bible translations", because Christians are inherently untrustworthy on the topic, given their motivation to round off the uncomfortable corners that diligent scholarship puts upon their holy text.
So, you have an academic source? No? I didn't think so. You read in an echo chamber, and expect me to accept that as evidence?
Sorry, you might be a purblind fool, but I have higher standards. Do keep up.

I'm going to go with "moron" for a true Daily Double, Alex. Bet it all.
