The NT especially was written by second or third language speakers. I live in a second language country and see the language layers quite differently now. Paul's Greek was better than my French though.

That 's why I went off fancy translations big way. And because I can't read it as a bunch of magic sayings, apart from the wisdom books it wasn' t written like that. We've played fast and loose with someone else's history. We'd go lary if people did that with our history. I think the OT at least should be judged on a similar level like hyroglyphics for example.
