In this podcast we bravely talk about the latter, go deep into biblical studies, and seek to treasure and understand the Bible together. It's for people who want to get nerdy about Scripture and for those who want to understand how their translations came to be. Everything from history to Hebrew, we're on a quest to learn more and make beautiful translations of God's Word. We believe the Bible is a unified, God-breathed, God-centered, hope-giving book, sweeter than honey, pointing to Jesus.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-12T00:18:15.271192+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/working-for-the-word-a-bible-translation-podcast-607651"},"episode":{"title":"\"Confess or \"Give Thanks\"?

So let me introduce you to Ayala Wing. She was raised in Israel, in a Christian family, and she’s an OT translation consultant with Wycliffe. She and her husband currently live in Luxembourg, Germany, and hope to move back to Israel in God’s timing. She wrote the KTOT article on root YDH in Hebrew, which typically is rendered as to give thanks, and in its nominal form TODAH, is typically rendered as thanks or thanksgiving . But she’s offering a challenge to this traditional understanding. Her article on this term is freely available in Translator’s Workplace and in the KTOT addition to Paratext.
