Abstract

An adequate interpretation of the Biblical text requires a detailed exegetical analysis of its original languages: Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. Translations into modern languages are unable to convey some nuances of these languages, causing the reader to be unable to perceive some details. In the present paper it is shown that the Christian writer Ellen G. White, despite having no knowledge of the original biblical languages, conveyed in her writings details and nuances present in the Hebrew and Greek text of the Bible. The verses of Exodus 5:5, Matthew 2:9, and Romans 16:7 are studied, showing how Ellen G. White’s interpretation of these texts reveals certain nuances of the original biblical text.
