Now, please note, when you have studied 20 years of high-level Biblical and classical Greek and other related scholastics such as the rabbinics of Kimchi and Rashi, you will still be light-years behind the world-class translators. Men who were living and breathing and speaking the classical and semitic languages in Oxford and Cambridge. However I doubt that you would, from a position of some knowledge rather than as an amateur Bible corrector, then try to raise the type of gnat-style know-little critique that you pick up from other know-little Bible correctors here.
So, that level of education makes them perfect men? This is a logical fallacy called an "argument from authority." It does not prove anything.

I could say, "I have such and such many years in Greek and Hebrew training" and say you are wrong because of that. That is absurd logic and does not prove the point.

The point is: They were wrong in that verse.
