Other than Hebrew, much of the editing is due to changes that have evolved in our modern languages. One great example is our word 'cute' which now refers to looks. Originally, it referred to having a sharp mind (coming from the word acute). As English words evolved, editors would go back to the original Hebrew and select the modern English word which now corresponded more truly with the original Hebrew meaning.
really, that was a dead language when used ... or just their religion.
so much for the "living" bible whoever came up with that.
