The Texas RAT Wrote:But as mentioned Roth strays in other ways other than the Western PeshittO, so even though he uses the variations of the Eastern PeshittA trying to figure out where he goes on his own way is a whole nother task in its self (OYE VEY!).Actually, if you had a copy for yourself and read it you'd see it's not really that bad (you can even figure it out without having to read Aramaic). All translations have a bit of bias though and require at least some form of interpretation when translating (it's impossible to avoid that). But it's much more literal and in line with the text than Bauscher's translation, although I apreciate the smoothensss of Bauscher at times.
