Cheryl,

It is very helpful and revealing to look at scripture in the interlinear…it clearly states whether the ‘she’ and ‘woman’ are singular or plural and also gives other language for ‘silence’  (to be in quietness) and ‘usurp authority’ (to be domineering…).  Frankly, it is fascinating to read many verses or passages in the interlinear.  It clearly shows where bias may have entered into the translating process.  Not being a biblical grammar expert yet, I can’t say for sure what else may come into play when one is analyzing scripture passages for translation, but at the very least, the original writing is there to examine and begin providing clarity and clues.  Thanks for introducing me to the interlinear!
