Given that there are so many words that can be translated into the English language with a narrow understanding, I have chosen to study in greater depth to render a broader knowledge of the Word. This however will never be as real and meaningful as it was to the people of any certain time, place and circumstance. We do our best to relate, our hearts bent towards understanding.

These people of a certain time, place and circumstance failed God in one way or another. It is not all that much different today. If a better understanding helps me to avoid error, mistakes, sin, then the season I spend in the Word is well worth the effort.
