Make sure you print a copy of The BHC Greek-English
Transliterator before you begin.
Example 1
Below is the first word we will
transliterate from Greek into English.
Greek is read from the left to the right, so we will begin with the
first letter on the left and proceed to the right. Notice that the
second letter has a mark above it. Below is a graphic that shows
the line and column that the Greek letter is found on the Greek-English
Transliterator and the English transliteration.
The English transliteration of the Greek word is Biblos --
this is the word from which our English word Bible originates. The
"-os" ending of the Greek word is dropped and an "e"
is added. The Greek word is found in Matthew 1:1 and is translated
as "book," which is its primary translation.
Book
of the lineage of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham.
See
if you can find the Greek words that are translated or transliterated as Jesus,
Christ, David and Abraham. After you find those
four words, see if you can find the Greek words that are translated as lineage
and son. Go
to the next example. RETURN
