Every translation has to make decisions on interpretation. (Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan's The Living Torah is great about this -- his footnotes will note if there's a significantly different reading in the classical Jewish commentaries. He doesn't tell you what to think.) As for "one of the most important verses" ... Maimonides foot-stomped that all the verses are Divine and all equally important. But hey, it could be important and still ambiguous. | |
