The bulk of the project is spent examining five English translations of eight texts from the Hebrew Bible in order to determine how literal each translation is. According to this project, a literal translation is a word-for-word translation in which lexical items and formal features are retained. The English translations are the King James Version, the New International Version, the New Revised Standard Version, the English Standard Version, and Robert Alter's The Hebrew Bible: A Translation with Commentary. The Hebrew texts are Genesis 1, 2 Sam 18:1-15, Ruth 3, Ps 120, Ps 121, Ps 130, Eccl 4, and Obad 1-18. The texts are first subjected to a constituent analysis to ascertain whether each translation accurately represents each constituent of the Hebrew text in English. Next, a word order analysis is performed on each text to show divergences between the Hebrew and English texts. Finally, each text is examined for lexical variation, showing how each English version translates repeated uses of the same Hebrew word. In each of these analyses, the English translations are given scores to rate how closely they reflect the underlying Hebrew text.In the end, Alter's translation is the closest to the definition of literal proposed in this paper, while the NIV is the furthest. This is not to say that the NIV is inherently inferior to the other translations surveyed. Conclusions are meant to be objective and not evaluative.
