His actual name is found 91 times in the Hebrew (or Aramaic) text,\nbut it is spelled two different ways\u2014Nebuchadnezzar (with an \u201cn\u201d) and\nNebuchadrezzar (with an \u201cr\u201d). The translators of the King James Version (KJV),\nRevised Standard Version (RSV), and New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) chose\nto follow the different Hebrew spellings as they transliterated the name into\nEnglish. Most English translations, including the NLT, use the more common\nspelling\u2014Nebuchadnezzar\u2014throughout the text to allay potential confusion on the\npart of readers. The NLT also provides a textual note for each chapter in which\nthe Hebrew spelling Nebuchadrezzar (with an \u201cr\u201d) is transliterated as\nNebuchadnezzar (with an \u201cn\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is just one example among many, many ways the NLT translators have worked to make the English text as clear as possible for our readers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Mark D.
