Ancient
manuscripts were written without punctuation or even spacing between words. Add
to this the fact that ancient Hebrew was written without any vowels and it
becomes almost a miracle that there are not more variations between manuscripts
than there are. This problem can be better appreciated trying to read: “FRGDSLVDTHWRLDTHTHGVHSNLYBGTTNSN,”
which is the first part of John 3:16
written in this fashion. Alexander Souter’s famous example of wrong word
division in English is, “Have you seen a bun dance on the table?”
