Meanwhile, this entire discussion underscores the observation that people claiming to certain knowledge based on biblical texts are making claims they simply cannot substantiate. I've noted that we have only fragmentary evidence, and no originals sources, and it was a different culture in a different time, but I've also noted that these documents were written in a different language where 1-to-1 translation is simply not possible. Something is always lost in translation, for the reason you note here. We can approximate, but we often cannot equate when moving from one language to another.
