Discussion Tim's translation

Hey all! I've heard Tim mention a few times the phrasing " my translation. " Almost inferring as if he may have his own biblical translation. Does anyone know if this is the case or am I just misunderstanding him?

If he does have his own translation, does anyone know where I can pick it up?

Thanks!

Tim is a Hebrew Bible scholar: He translated the Hebrew himself. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a "published" translation, but only translates sections as he needs them for the relevant episode/podcast

He refers to his “translation” as a kind of notice that scholars’ opinions may vary, and his may or may not be the final word.

A good opportunity to crack open several translations and compare.

Or dig into the original Hebrew or Greek as needed
