This is why i wont just read one translation. I just read Daniel 3:18 in at least 20 different translations and many I have not heard of and they all seem to say it differently from the other. This is what I am looking forward to getting.......The Chumash, ed Rabbi Nosson Scherman, Art Scroll Series, Stone Edition, Travel Size (Brooklyn Mesorah Publications,)Ok, I will admit that one could come to the conclusion you are making with the text as it stands. But I just don't seem right to me.
I have gotten info from this book in the past and it is awesome. Now I want one of my own.
