In Response to Maverick's post about the LEB translation, an example (last post of page 1 of this strip) which ought to have resonance with folks here is.
The following example has been discussed here but without the simplicity and ease that the LEB offers.
Exodus 32:25
King James Version (KJV)
25 ¶And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
Lexham English Bible (LEB)
25
And Moses saw the people, that they were running wild because Aaron had allowed them to run wild, for a laughingstock among ⌞their enemies⌟.
I am seeing where this Lexham English Bible has some serious value as a Bible Study Aid

Also, the question I posed elsewhere about 1Cor 5:1
In the KJV,In 1Cor 5:1 Paul wrote: 1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife. ;
Does that mean that Christians cannot even use the words "Homosexuality" or "Zoophilia" etc. or instead does it mean that no Christian should ever give cause to be accused of that.
In the Lexham English Bible the verse reads as:
In theLEB, In 1Cor 5:1 Paul" wrote: 1
It is reported everywhere that there is sexual immorality among you, and sexual immorality of such a kind which does not even exist among the Gentiles,
It clearly means that these sins are not to exist among the saints either, but somehow the idiom "Not be named" was interpreted as the words cannot be said as even in giving instruction to avoid it, and thus the sin of homosexuality and others became sins that could not even be mentioned by Christians...... By the time of the mid 1800's it became as if somehow would make these horrid vices go away, thereby attaching some sort of magic power to naming or not naming the sins as the horrid vices that they are. It was as if the old saw, of "Speak of the devil and he is sure to appear" was an actual truth instead of the superstition that it is. The LEB seems to have shown this idiom for the error it is/induces.
Such an error of not naming sins for what they are is as if the ploy of the devil is taken from George Orwell's concept of "newspeak" taken from the Novel 1984, a new language where the words which address the matters of evil that we need to condemn are eliminated so that no one can even talk about them to know that they exist.
I never met anyone that I could not learn something from.
