Murdock follows exact wording:
Hebrews 12:12 - Wherefore, strengthen ye your relaxed hands, and your tottering knees:
Lamsa:
Hebrews 12:12 - Therefore, be courageous and strong;
Lamsa has some specific personal approach and looks like he tries to render
his feeling from read verse and not an exact original picture. But some verses different person
may understand differently. But his translations are usually clear and modern English.
I think that during translations one must render exact semitic idiom but readers will get used
to them by themselves. But He has own way. All we are different.
