What are you talking about?Lame argument, to claim the Bible (OT) is mistranslated from Hebrew.
Most Jews 2000 years ago were using the Greek Septuagint and that was considered the standard and accurately translated.
Translations are not the issue, Talmudic Judaism (which is newer than Christianity) just does not accept the beliefs of ancient Israelites.
As we’ve seen in many threads here, Talmudic Jews claim the Messiah will be a mere man, and not divine. Yet they can’t point to any text to back up this claim.
I always pointed to the answer to that with source:
Hilchos Melachim 11:3-4
and in Isaiah if I recall correctly Moshiach is a servant (not served). And out of the lineage of Aaron (a Kohanim)(a human)
in the scrolls: lQS lX, ll which seems to be fragment omitted from 4QSe(4Q259)
but this is common sense the head priest comes out of the gathering of Kohanim which in slang were called clouds for their puffy white robes appeared like clouds when gathered.
Hence Daniel saying son of man comes out or with the clouds(gathered hosts) and Theslonians saying with the call of the arch (top) angel (priest) to come up to zion to the gathering of priests (clouds).
And that gathering of Kohanim is to the temple (MIKdash) in the arch priests name, to the city that carries his and his God's name(God's description type name is not to be confused with a physical persona name because God is not a man nor form)*.
YeruShalem would carry the name. (1 Kings 11:36 &
in dead sea scrolls: Words of the Archangel Michael scroll 4Q529, 6Q23)
*Sources for God is not a man nor form:
"Isaiah 42:8 we can't pray to any image of anything physical- Exodus 20:3-7 and Deuteronomy 5:8-10
God is not a man nor form-(Isaiah 2:22, 14:13, I Samuel 15:29, Numbers 23:19, and Hosea 11:9, Deuteronomy 4:11-12 and the 13 major principles of the Jewish faith based on the Rambam's teaching of "ain lo demus haguf ve'ayno guf" -- that Hashem has no physical form.)
