Talk:John 1-7 (Translated) (view source)

1:14 I've thought for a long time that "dwelt" is kind of archaic, and doesn't really capture the meaning of the Greek, which is something along the lines of "pitched His tent" or "built His tabernacle." How about at least something like "made His home among us" or even the slightly more earthy "pitched His tent among us"?--[[User:Caspianrex|Cory Howell]] 15:56, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

: That's not a bad idea. The word literally means "spread a tabernacle, pitch a tent, to tabernacle, to tent." John is the only person who uses this word in the NT, as it appears here, then in Revelation 7:15; 12:12; 13:6; and a really interesting one: Revelation 21:3 - "And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will '''dwell''' among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them...", which is an interesting parallel to John 1:14. I kind of like "made His home among us." Let me think about it. [[User:Mback|Michael Back]] 12:13, 23 October 2009 (EDT)
