From the Hebrew text, four translations are presented that are references and used in the religious and in the academic contexts. Following this, a personal translation is offered and the texts in question are analyzed. From its literary contextualization, a brief comment is proposed. The aim is to understand these texts in order to elucidate the misunderstanding of reading and the spurious interpretation that can result when both are made and are based only on the translations and not on the original language in which the text was written.
