# blood
## Definition:
The term “blood” refers to the red liquid that comes out of a person’s skin when there is an injury or wound. Blood brings life-giving nutrients to a person’s entire body. In the Bible, the term “blood” is often used figuratively to mean “life” and/or several other concepts.
* When people made sacrifices to God, they killed an animal and poured its blood on the altar. This symbolized the sacrifice of the animal’s life to pay for people’s sins.
* The expression “flesh and blood” refers to human beings.
* The expression “own flesh and blood” refers to people who are biologically related.
## Translation Suggestions:
* This term should be translated with the term that is used for blood in the target language.
* The expression “flesh and blood” could be translated as “people” or “human beings.”
* Depending on the context, the expression “my own flesh and blood” could be translated as “my own family” or “my own relatives” or “my own people.”
* If there is an expression in the target language that is used with this meaning, that expression could be used to translate “flesh and blood.”

# body
## Definition:
The term “body” refers to the physical body of a person or animal. This term is also used figuratively to refer to an object or to a group consisting of individual members.
* Often the term “body” refers to a dead person or animal. Sometimes this is referred to as a “dead body” or a “corpse.”
* When Jesus said to the disciples at his last Passover meal, “This (bread) is my body,” he was referring to his physical body that would be “broken” (killed) to pay for their sins.
* In the Bible, Christians as a group are referred to as the “body of Christ.”
* Just as a physical body has many parts, the “body of Christ” has many individual members.
* Each individual believer has a special function in the body of Christ to help the whole group work together to serve God and bring him glory.
* Jesus is also referred to as the “head” (leader) of the “body” of his believers. Just as a person’s head tells his body what to do, so Jesus is the one who guides and directs Christians as members of his “body.”
## Translation Suggestions:
* The best way to translate this term would be with the word that is most commonly used to refer to a physical body in the project language. Make sure that the word used is not an offensive term.
* When referring collectively to believers, for some languages it may be more natural and accurate to say “spiritual body of Christ.”
* When Jesus says, “This is my body,” it is best to translate this literally, with a note to explain it if needed.
* Some languages may have a separate word when referring to a dead body, such as “corpse” for a person or “carcass” for an animal. Make sure the word used to translate this makes sense in the context and is acceptable.

# brother
## Definition:
The term “brother” refers to a male sibling who shares at least one biological parent.
* In the Old Testament, the term “brothers” is also used as a general reference to relatives or associates, such as members of the same tribe, clan, occupation, or people group. When used in this way, the term can refer to both men and women.
* In the New Testament, the apostles often use the term “brothers” to refer to fellow Christians, including both men and women.
* A few times in the New Testament, the apostles used the term “sister” when referring specifically to a fellow Christian who was a woman, or to emphasize that both men and women are being included. For example, James emphasizes that he is talking about all believers when he refers to “a brother or sister who is in need of food or clothing.”
## Translation Suggestions:
* It is best to translate this term with the literal word that is used in the target language to refer to a natural or biological brother, unless this would give wrong meaning.
* In the Old Testament especially, when “brothers” is used very generally to refer to members of the same family, clan, or people group, possible translations could include “relatives” or “clan members” or “fellow Israelites.”
* In the context of referring to a fellow believer in Christ, this term could be translated as “brother in Christ” or “spiritual brother.”
* If both males and females are being referred to and “brother” would give a wrong meaning, then a more general kinship term could be used that would include both males and females.
* Other ways to translate this term so that it refers to both male and female believers could be “fellow believers” or “Christian brothers and sisters.”
* Make sure to check the context to determine whether only men are being referred to, or whether both men and women are included.

# children, child, offspring
## Definition:
The term “child” (plural “children”) refers to the offspring of a man and woman. The term is often used more generally to refer to anyone who is young in age and is not yet a fully grown adult. The term “offspring” is a general reference to the biological descendants of people or animals.
* In the Bible, disciples or followers are sometimes called “children.”
* Often the term “children” is used to refer to a person’s descendants.
* Often in the Bible, “offspring” has the same meaning as “children” or “descendants.”
* The term “seed” is sometimes used figuratively to refer to offspring.
* The phrase “children of” can refer to being characterized by something. Some examples of this would be:
* children of the light
* children of obedience
* children of the devil
* This term can also refer to the Church. For example, sometimes the New Testament refers to people who believe in Jesus as “children of God.”
## Translation Suggestions:
* The term “children” could be translated as “descendants” when it is referring to a person’s great-grandchildren or great-great-grandchildren, etc.
* Depending on the context, “children of” could be translated as “people who have the characteristics of” or “people who behave like.”
* If possible, the phrase, “children of God” should be translated literally since an important biblical theme is that God is our heavenly Father. A possible translation alternate would be, “people who belong to God” or “God’s spiritual children.”
* When Jesus calls his disciples “children,” this could also be translated as “dear friends” or “my beloved disciples.”
* When Paul and John refer to believers in Jesus as “children,” this could also be translated as “dear fellow believers.”
* The phrase, “children of the promise” could be translated as “people who have received what God promised them.”

# command, commandment
## Definition:
The term “command” means to order someone to do something. The term “commandment” refers to the thing that a person is commanded to do.
* The term “commandment” sometimes refers to certain commands of God which are more formal and permanent, such as the “Ten Commandments.”
* A command can be positive (“Honor your parents”) or negative (“Do not steal”).
* To “take command” means to “take control” or “take charge” of something or someone.
## Translation Suggestions
* It is best to translate this term differently from the term, “law.” Also compare with the definitions of “decree” and “statute.”
* Some translators may prefer to translate “command” and “commandment” with the same word in their language.
* Others may prefer to use a special word for commandment that refers to lasting, formal commands that God has made.

# filled with the Holy Spirit
## Definition:
The term “filled with the Holy Spirit” is a figurative expression that, when used to describe a person means the Holy Spirit is empowering that person to do God’s will.
* The expression “filled with” is an expression that often means “controlled by.”
* People are “filled with the Holy Spirit” when they follow the Holy Spirit’s leading and completely rely on him to help them do what God wants.
## Translation Suggestions:
* This term could be translated as “empowered by the Holy Spirit” or “controlled by the Holy Spirit.” But it should not sound as though the Holy Spirit is forcing the person to do something.
* A sentence such as “he was filled with the Holy Spirit” could be translated as “he was living fully by the Spirit’s power” or “he was completely guided by the Holy Spirit” or “the Holy Spirit was guiding him completely.”
* This term is similar in meaning to the expression “live by the Spirit,” but “filled with the Holy Spirit” emphasizes the completeness with which a person allows the Holy Spirit to have control or influence over his life. So these two expressions should be translated differently, if possible.

# flesh
## Definition:
In the Bible, the term “flesh” literally refers to the soft tissue of the physical body of a human being or animal.
* The Bible also uses the term “flesh” in a figurative way to refer to all human beings or all living creatures.
* In the New Testament, the term “flesh” is used to refer to the sinful nature of human beings. This is often used in contrast to their spiritual nature.
* The expression “own flesh and blood” refers to someone who is biologically related to another person, such as a parent, sibling, child, or grandchild.
* The expression “flesh and blood” can also refer to a person’s ancestors or descendants.
* The expression “one flesh” refers to the physical uniting of a man and woman in marriage.
## Translation Suggestions:
* In the context of an animal’s body, “flesh” could be translated as “body” or “skin” or “meat.”
* When it is used to refer generally to all living creatures, this term could be translated as “living beings” or “everything that is alive.”
* When referring in general to all people, this term could be translated as “people” or “human beings” or “everyone who lives.”
* The expression “flesh and blood” could also be translated as “relatives” or “family” or “kinfolk” or “family clan.” There may be contexts where it could be translated as “ancestors” or “descendants.”
* Some languages may have an expression that is similar in meaning to “flesh and blood.”
* The expression “become one flesh” could be translated as “unite sexually” or “become as one body” or “become like one person in body and spirit.” The translation of this expression should be checked to make sure it is acceptable in the project language and culture. (See: [euphemism](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-euphemism)). It should also be understood that this is figurative, and does not mean that a man and a woman who “become one flesh” literally become one person.

# heart
## Definition:
The term “heart” refers to the internal bodily organ that pumps blood throughout the body in people and animals. However, in the Bible the term “heart” is often used figuratively to refer to a person’s thoughts, emotions, desires, or will.
* To have a “hard heart” is a common expression that means a person stubbornly refuses to obey God.
* The expressions “with all my heart” or “with my whole heart” mean to do something with complete sincerity, commitment, or willingness, holding nothing back.
* The expression “take it to heart” means to treat something seriously and apply it to one’s life.
* The term “brokenhearted” describes a person who is very sad. That person has been deeply hurt emotionally.
## Translation Suggestions
* Some languages use a different body part such as “stomach” or “liver” to refer to these ideas.
* Other languages may use one word to express some of these concepts and another word to express others.
* If “heart” or other body part does not have this meaning, some languages may need to express this literally with terms such as “thoughts” or “emotions” or “desires.”
* Depending on the context, “with all my heart” or “with my whole heart” could be translated as “with all my energy” or “with complete dedication” or “completely” or “with total commitment.”
* The expression “take it to heart” could be translated as “treat it seriously” or “carefully think about it.”
* The expression “hard-hearted” could also be translated as “stubbornly rebellious” or “refusing to obey” or “continually disobeying God.”
* Ways to translate “brokenhearted” could include “very sad” or “feeling deeply hurt.”

# life, live, living, alive
## Definition:
The term “life” refers to being physically alive as opposed to being physically dead.
### 1. Physical life
* A “life” can also refer to an individual person as in “a life was saved”.
* Sometimes the word “life” refers to the experience of living as in, “his life was enjoyable.”
* It can also refer to a person’s lifespan, as in the expression, “the end of his life.”
* The term “living” may refer to being physically alive, as in “my mother is still living.” It may also refer to dwelling somewhere as in, “they were living in the city.”
* In the Bible, the concept of “life” is often contrasted with the concept of “death.”
### 2. Eternal life
* A person has eternal life when he believes in Jesus. God gives that person a transformed life with the Holy Spirit living in him.
* The opposite of eternal life is eternal death, which means being separated from God and experiencing eternal punishment.
## Translation Suggestions:

* The term “live” could be translated by “dwell” or “reside” or “exist.”
* The expression “end of his life” could be translated as “when he stopped living.”
* The expression “spared their lives” could be translated as “allowed them to live” or “did not kill them.”

# reveal, revealed, revelation
## Definition:
The term “reveal” means to cause something to be known. A “revelation” is something that has been made known.
* God has revealed himself through everything he has created and through his communication with people by spoken and written messages.
* God also reveals himself through dreams or visions.
* When Paul said that he received the gospel by “revelation from Jesus Christ,” he means that Jesus himself explained the gospel to him.
* In the New Testament book “Revelation” is about God revealed events that will happen in the end times. He revealed them to the apostle John through visions.
## Translation Suggestions:
* Other ways to translate “reveal” could include “make known” or “disclose” or “show clearly.”
* Depending on the context, possible ways to translate “revelation” could be “communication from God” or “things that God has revealed” or “teachings about God.” It is best to keep the meaning of “reveal” in the translation.

# right hand
## Definition:
The term “right hand” refers to the hand on the right side of a person’s body. In the Bible, the term is often used figuratively to refer to other body parts on a person’s right side, to the direction of a person’s right, to the direction south, or to a place of honor or strength on the right side of a ruler or other important individual.
* The right hand can be used figuratively as a symbol of power, authority, or strength.
* The Bible describes Jesus as sitting “at the right hand of” God the Father as the head of the body of believers (the Church) and in control as ruler of all creation.
* A person’s right hand was used to show special honor when placed on the head of someone being given a blessing (as when the patriarch Jacob blessed Joseph’s son Ephraim).
* To “serve at the right hand” of someone means to be the one whose service is especially helpful and important to that person.
## Translation Suggestions:
* Sometimes the term “right hand” literally refers to a person’s right hand, as when Roman soldiers put a staff into Jesus’ right hand to mock him. This should be translated using the term that the language uses to refer to this hand.
* Regarding figurative uses, if an expression that includes the term “right hand” does not have the same meaning in the project language, then consider whether that language has a different expression with the same meaning.
* The expression “at the right hand of” could be translated as “on the right side of” or “in the place of honor beside” or “in the position of strength” or “ready to help.”
* Ways to translate “with his right hand” could include “with authority” or “using power” or “with his amazing strength.”
* The figurative expression “his right hand and his mighty arm” uses two ways of emphasizing God’s power and great strength. One way to translate this expression could be “his amazing strength and mighty power.” (See: [parallelism](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism))
* The expression “their right hand is falsehood” could be translated as “even the most honorable thing about them is corrupted by lies” or “their place of honor is corrupted by deception” or “they use lies to make themselves powerful.”

# son
## Definition:
The male offspring of a man and a woman is called their “son” for his entire life. He is also called a son of that man and a son of that woman. An “adopted son” is a male who has been legally placed into the position of being a son.
* The phrase “son of” can be used to identify a person’s father, mother, or an ancestor from some previous generation. This phrase is used in genealogies and many other places.
* The “sons of Israel” are usually the Israelite nation (after Genesis).
* Using “son of” to give the name of the father frequently helps distinguish people who have the same name. For example, “Azariah son of Zadok” and “Azariah son of Nathan” in 1 Kings 4, and “Azariah son of Amaziah” in 2 Kings 15 are three different men.
* The phrase “son of” can be used to associate the person with whatever person or concept comes next. The meaning is then greatly determined by context. It can be positive (eg. 2 Kings 2:16: “sons of ability”), negative (eg. 2 Samuel 7:10: “sons of wickedness”), denote membership in a group, express contempt by not naming the person (eg. “you sons of Zeruiah”), etc.
## Translation Suggestions:
* In most occurrences of this term, it is best to translate “son” by the literal term in the language that is used to refer to a son.
* When translating the term “Son of God,” the project language’s common term for “son” should be used.
* Sometimes “sons” can be translated as “children,” when both males and females are being referred to. For example, “sons of God” could be translated as “children of God” since this expression also includes girls and women.

# work, works, deeds
## Definition:
The term “work” refers generally either to the action of expending effort in order to accomplish something, or to the result of that action. The term “works” refers generally to actions as a whole (that is, things that have been done or that need to be done).
* In the Bible, these terms are commonly used both in reference to God and humans.
* When used in reference to God, the term “work” in the Bible often refers to God’s action of creating the universe or saving his people (either from enemies, from sin, or both).
* God’s works refer to all the things he does or has done, including creating the world, saving sinners, providing for the needs of all creation and keeping the entire universe in place.
* The works or deeds that a person does can be either good or evil.
## Translation Suggestions:
* Other ways to translate “works” could be “deeds” or “actions” or “things that are done.”
* God’s “works” or “deeds” or the “work of his hands” could also be translated as “miracles” or “mighty acts” or “things that God does.”
* The expression “the work of God” could be translated as “the things that God is doing” or “the miracles God does” or “everything that God has accomplished.”

# breath, breathe
## Definition:
In the Bible, the terms “breathe” and “breath” are often used figuratively to refer to giving life or having life.
* The Bible teaches that God “breathed into” Adam the breath of life. It was at that point that Adam became a living soul.
* When Jesus breathed on the disciples and told them to “receive the Spirit,” he was probably literally breathing out air onto them to symbolize the Holy Spirit coming to them.
* Sometimes the terms “breathing” and “breathing out” are used to refer to speaking.
* The figurative expression “breath of God” or “breath of Yahweh” often refers to God’s wrath being poured out on rebellious or godless nations. It communicates his power.
## Translation Suggestions
* The expression “breathed his last” is a figurative way of saying “he died.” It could also be translated as “he took his last breath” or “he stopped breathing and died” or “he breathed in air one last time.”
* Describing the Scriptures as “God-breathed” means that God spoke or inspired the words of the Scriptures which human authors then wrote down. It is probably best, if possible, to translate “God-breathed” somewhat literally since it is difficult to communicate the exact meaning of this.
* If a literal translation of “God-breathed” is not acceptable, other ways to translate this could include “inspired by God” or “authored by God” or “spoken by God.” It could also be said that “God breathed out the words of Scripture.”
* The expressions “put breath in” or “breathe life into” or “gives breath to” could be translated as “cause to breathe” or “make alive again” or “enable them to live and breathe” or “give life to.”
* If possible, it is best to translate “breath of God” with the literal word that is used for “breath” in the language. If God cannot be said to have “breath,” this could be translated as “God’s power” or “God’s speech.”
* The expression “catch my breath” or “get my breath” could be translated as “relax in order to breathe more slowly” or “stop running in order to breathe normally.”
* The expression “is only a breath” means “lasts a very short time.”
* Similarly the expression “man is a single breath” means “people live a very short time” or “the lives of human beings are very short, like a single breath” or “compared to God, the life of a person seems as short as the time it takes to breathe in one breath of air.”

# clothe, clothed, clothes, clothing, unclothed, garments
## Definition:
When used figuratively in the Bible, “clothed with” means to be endowed or equipped with something. To “clothe” oneself with something means to seek to have a certain character quality.
* In the same way that clothing is external to your body and is visible to all, when you are “clothed” with a certain character quality, others can readily see it. To “clothe yourself with kindness” means to let your actions be so characterized by kindness that it is easily seen by everyone.
* To be “clothed with power from on high” means to have power given to you.
* This term is also used to express negative experiences, such as “clothed with shame” or “clothed with terror.”
## Translation Suggestions:
* If possible, it is best to keep the literal figure of speech, “clothe yourselves with.” Another way to translate this could be “put on” if this refers to putting on clothes.
* If that does not give the correct meaning, other ways to translate “clothed with” could be “showing” or “manifesting” or “filled with” or “having the quality of.”
* The term “clothe yourself with” could also be translated as “cover yourself with” or “behave in a way that shows.”

## Definition:

# die, dead, deadly, death
## Definition:
The term “death” refers to being physically dead instead of alive.
### 1. Physical death
* To “die” means to stop living. Death is the end of physical life.
* The expression “put to death” refers to killing or murdering someone, especially when a king or other ruler gives an order for someone to be killed.
### 2. Eternal death
* Eternal death is the separation of a person from God.
* This is the kind of death that happened to Adam when he sinned and disobeyed God. His relationship with God was broken. He became ashamed and tried to hide from God.
* This same kind of death happens to every person, because we sin. But God gives us eternal life when we have faith in Jesus Christ.
## Translation Suggestions:
* To translate this term, it is best to use the everyday, natural word or expression in the target language that refers to death.
* In some languages, to “die” may be expressed as to “not live.” The term “dead” may be translated as “not alive” or “not having any life” or “not living.”
* Many languages use figurative expressions to describe death, such as to “pass away” in English. However, in the Bible it is best to use the most direct term for death that is used in everyday language.
* In the Bible, eternal life and eternal death are often compared to physical life and physical death. It is important in a translation to use the same word or phrase for both physical death and eternal death.
* In some languages it may be more clear to say “eternal death” when the context requires that meaning. Some translators may also feel it is best to say “physical death” in contexts where it is being contrasted to spiritual death.
* The expression “the dead” is a nominal adjective that refers to people who have died. Some languages will translate this as “dead people” or “people who have died.” (See: [nominal adjective](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-nominaladj))
* The expression “put to death” could also be translated as “kill” or “murder” or “execute.”

# hand
## Definition:
The word “hand” refers to the part of the body at the end of the arm. This term is often used figuratively to refer to a person’s power, control, or action, whether it be in reference to God or in reference to a human person.
Some of the various uses of the term “hand” include the following:
* The term “hand” can be used figuratively to refer to the position of being “beside” a person, an object, or a location.
* To “lay a hand on” means to “harm.” To “save from the hand of” means to prevent someone from being harmed by another person.
* The position of being “on the right hand” means “on the right side” or “to the right.”
* The expression “by the hand of” someone means “by” or “through” the action of that person. For example, the phrase “by the hand of the Lord” means that God caused something to happen.
* Expressions such as “hand over to” or “deliver into the hands of” refer to causing someone to be under the control or power of someone else.
* The term “laying on of hands” can refer to placing a hand on a person in order to dedicate that person to God’s service, to pray for healing, or to ask God to bless that person.
* When Paul says “written by my hand,” it means that he himself wrote that part of the letter rather than speaking it to someone else to write down.
## Translation Suggestions
* These expressions and other figures of speech could be translated using other figurative expressions that have the same meaning. Or the meaning could be translated using direct, literal language (see examples above).
* The expression “handed him the scroll” could also be translated as “gave him the scroll” or “put the scroll in his hand.” It was not given to him permanently, but just for the purpose of using it at that time.
* An expression such as “delivered them into the hands of their enemies” or “handed them over to their enemies,” could be translated as “allowed their enemies to conquer them” or “caused them to be captured by their enemies” or “empowered their enemies to gain control over them.”
* To “die by the hand of” could be translated as “be killed by.”
* The expression “on the right hand of” could be translated as “on the right side of.”
* In regard to Jesus being “seated at the right hand of God,” if this does not communicate in the language that it refers to a position of high honor and equal authority, a different expression with that meaning could be used. Or a short explanation could be added: “on the right side of God, in the position of highest authority.”

# cure, cured, heal, healed, healing, healer, health, healthy, unhealthy
## Definition:
The terms “heal” and “cure” both mean to cause a sick, wounded, or disabled person to be healthy again.
* A person who is “healed” or “cured” has been “made well” or “made healthy.”
* Healing can happen naturally since God gave our bodies the ability to recover from many kinds of wounds and diseases. Thsi kind of healing usually happens slowly.
* However, certain conditions, such as being blind or paralyzed, and certain serious diseases, such as leprosy, however do not heal on their own. When people are healed of these things, it is a miracle that usually happens suddenly.
* For example, Jesus healed many people who were blind or lame or diseased, and they became well right away.
* The apostles also healed people miraculously, such as when Peter caused a crippled man to immediately be able to walk.

# kind [NOT kindness]
## Definition:
The term “kind” refers to a group or classification of something(s) that share some common characteristics but not all characteristics.
* In the Bible, this term is specifically used to refer to the distinctive kinds of plants and animals that God made when he created the world.
* Often there are many different variations or species within each “kind.” For example, horses, zebras, and donkeys are all members of the same “kind,” but they are different species.
* The main thing that distinguishes each “kind” as a separate group is that members of that group can reproduce more of their same “kind.” Members of different kinds cannot do that with each other.
## Translation Suggestions
* Ways to translate this term could include “type” or “class” or “group” or “animal (plant) group” or “category.”

# light, luminary, shine, brighten, enlighten
## Definition:
The term “light” is used figuratively in various ways in the Bible. Light is often used as a metaphor for wisdom, life, righteousness, truth, or happiness.
* Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” to express that he brings God’s true message to the world and rescues people from the darkness of their sin.
* Christians are commanded to “walk in the light,” which means they should be living the way God wants them to and avoiding evil.
* The apostle John stated that “God is light” and in him there is no darkness at all.
* Jesus said that he was “the light of the world” and that his followers should shine like lights in the world by living in a way that clearly shows how great God is.
* “Walking in the light” represents living in a way that pleases God, doing what is good and right. Walking in darkness represents living in rebellion against God, doing evil things.
## Translation Suggestions:
* When translating, it is important to keep the literal terms “light” and “darkness” even when they are used figuratively.
* It may be necessary to explain the comparison in the text. For example, “walk as children of light” could be translated as “live openly righteous lives, like someone who walks in bright sunlight.”
* Make sure that the translation of “light” does not refer to an object that gives light, such as a lamp. The translation of this term should refer to the light itself.

# asleep, fall asleep, sleep, sleeper, sleepless
## Definition:
These terms can have figurative meanings relating to death.
* To “sleep” or “be asleep” can be a metaphor meaning to “be dead.” (See: Metaphor)
* The expression “fall asleep” means start sleeping, or, figuratively, die.
* To “sleep with one’s fathers” means to die, as one’s ancestors have, or to be dead, as one’s ancestors are.
## Translation Suggestions:
* To “fall asleep” could be translated as to “suddenly become asleep” or to “start sleeping” or to “die,” depending on its meaning.
* Note: It is especially important to keep the figurative expression in contexts where the audience did not understand the meaning. For example, when Jesus told his disciples that Lazarus was “sleeping” they thought he meant that Lazarus was just sleeping naturally. In this context, it would not make sense to translate this as “he died.”
* Some project languages may have a different expression for death or dying which could be used if the expressions “sleep” and “asleep” do not make sense.

# stiff-necked, stubborn, stubbornness, hard of neck
## Definition:
The term “stiff-necked” is an idiom used in the Bible to describe people who keep disobeying God and refuse to repent. Such people are very proud and will not submit to God’s authority.
* Similarly, the term “stubborn” describes a person who refuses to change his mind or actions even when urged to do so. Stubborn people will not listen to good advice or warnings that other people give them.
* The Old Testament described the Israelites as “stiff-necked” because they did not listen to the many messages from God’s prophets who urged them to repent and turn back to Yahweh.
* If a neck is “stiff” it does not bend easily. The project language may have a different idiom that communicates that a person is “unbending” in that he refuses to change his ways.
* Other ways to translate this term could include “pridefully stubborn” or “arrogant and unyielding” or “refusing to change.”

# voice
## Definition:
The term “voice” refers to audible sound that a person makes when speaking or communicating. In the Bible, the term can be used figuratively to refer to the concepts of sound, communication, and/or obedience.
## Translation Suggestions
* The expression “to hear someone’s voice” can mean either “to hear someone speaking” or “to heed what someone says.”
* The Bible describes God as “speaking” and having a “voice,” even though God doesn’t have a physical body in the same way a human being does.
* The term “voice” sometimes implies the presence of a person, as in this statement: “A voice is heard in the desert saying, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord.’” This could be translated as “A person is heard calling out in the desert….” (See: [synecdoche](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche))
* However, sometimes the word “voice” is used for objects that cannot literally speak, such as when David exclaims in the psalms that the heavens have a “voice” that reaches the whole earth. This means that the objects in the sky communicate something to human beings about God the Creator. (See: [metaphor](rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor))

# water, deep
## Definition:
In addition to its primary meaning, “water” also often refers to a body of water, such as an ocean, sea, lake, or river.
* The term “waters” refers to bodies of water or many sources of water. It can also be a general reference for a large amount of water.
* A figurative use of “waters” refers to great distress, difficulties, and suffering. For example, God promises that when we “go through the waters” he will be with us.
* The phrase “many waters” emphasizes how great the difficulties are.
* To “water” livestock and other animals means to “provide water for” them. In Bible times, this usually involved drawing water from a well with a bucket and pouring the water into a trough or other container for the animals to drink from.
* The “deep” refers to a deep body of water, such as the watery depths at the beginning of creation or bodies of water that extend deep under the earth’s surface such as oceans, seas, etc.
* In the Old Testament, God is referred to as the spring or fountain of “living waters” for his people. This means he is the source of spiritual power and refreshment.
* In the New Testament, Jesus used the phrase “living water” to refer to the Holy Spirit working in a person to transform and bring new life.
## Translation Suggestions:
* The phrase, “draw water” could be translated as “pull water up from a well with a bucket.”
* “Streams of living water will flow from them” could be translated as “the power and blessings from the Holy Spirit will flow out of them them like streams of water.” Instead of “blessings” the term “gifts” or “fruits” or “godly character” could be used.
* When Jesus is talking to the Samaritan woman at the well, the phrase “living water” could be translated as “water that gives life” or “lifegiving water.” In this context, the imagery of water must be kept in the translation.
* Depending on the context, the term “waters” or “many waters” could be translated as “great suffering (that surrounds you like water)” or “overwhelming difficulties (like a flood of water)” or “large amounts of water.”
