The New American Bible, a Catholic translation, says regarding that part of the Bible: “To make the truths contained in these chapters intelligible to the Israelite people destined to preserve them, they needed to be expressed through elements prevailing among that people at that time.
The New American Bible, katoliku piiblitõlge, ütleb selle piibliosa kohta: „Et teha nendes peatükkides sisalduvad tõed neid talletama pidavatele iisraellastele mõistetavaks, tuli neid väljendada tolle aja inimeste seas üldtuntud mõistete kaudu.
