Learning more about the 23rd Psalm
Im learning more about the 23rd Psalm, I am reading about the line “He leads me on straight paths for His name’ sake.”, there are other versions mentioned in the book I am reading but the Hebrew according to the author actually means more than most of the translations can describe, the part that says “on straight paths” in the Hebrew means you may be lead in an around about way that will get you to were your going. Most people will agree the traight path is not necessarily the best and a short cut may get you in more of a mess then you wanted but something along the way will either help you or cause you to be in a situation were you can help someone else, I alway thought it ment he would take you the best route which in a way it does but taking direct route or the fastest route is not what it means if you take the Hebrew version. The book I am reading is called “The Lord is my Shepherd” written by a Rabbi from New York and is well worth a read I will try and post full info of where to buy it… Anyone who knows me can borrow it when I am done, I will probably give it to the Church for the library.
