36. There's another layer of ambiguity to add to what you've mentioned,

that there no doubt are cultural or historical connotations to certain words, phrases, place names, of which we may be entirely unaware.

Here's a poor analogy. We say "Hollywood" which is a place name, but it also describes an industry, a culture, even a way of seeing the world. As in, "That's the Hollywood ending to this story" or "Hollywood elites" or whatever. Imagine it's 2000 years in the future, and 90 to 99% of all written and recorded texts are lost (which is pretty much what's happened in the past 2000 years--most of what's been written no longer exists). A reader 20 centuries from now might see a reference to "Hollywood" and they'd have no understanding of the widely held but mostly unwritten 20th and 21st century connotations attached to that simple geographic reference. Probably not the best analogy in the world, but i hope it makes my point.

There is of course a voluminous scholarship on Biblical history and translation, of which I have only the most shallow understanding.

Best wishes.
