page 31 Noah now as I said the other day we're talking about the logical literal translation I'm only gonna use commentaries if they contribute to literal and logic sometimes that's what they're doing often that's not what they're doing I'll start with the first two verses on page 31 and we will analyze them and as we go out comment on a couple of the words in the translation these are the words in the translation these are the offspring of Noah Noah was a righteous man now the next word that English is perfect the Hebrew is closer to pure or complete and the comma between man and complete and the comma between man and perfect is probably not it's probably misleading Noah was righteous complete in his generations sorry taken to mean and it means either pure or completely no I've walked with God Noah begot which means was fathered God Noah begot which means was fathered three sons shamed how many of us okay they're just looking at those two verses a number of questions ought to leap to your mind yeah well so many things oh we're coming today good the translation of Toto's as offspring is one possible translation but we are going to prefer a different translation we'll get to that that's a very that's a very important point but in the meantime if I take it the way you translate it took it doesn't that raise some question or difficulty I
