A handy little book with a long title by Dr. George M. Lamsa, gives the 'real meaning' behind the previous word-for-word translations of idioms found in most Bibles. For example, 1Samuel 2:1 "My mouth is enlarged" really stands for "Now I can talk aloud and speak boldly." Idioms for both Testaments. This book was first published in 1931 and gives quick, easy-to-locate references for obscure phrases in both the Old and New Testaments.
