| Summary: | This article examines the well known biblical verse in Genesis 8.21, in which human nature is described as fundamentally evil or bad. The focal point is the distinction between „bad‟ and „evil‟ – ra and ro’a – concluding that the correct translation in Gen 8,21 should have been „bad‟. Dieser Artikel untersucht den bekannten Bibelvers in Genesis 8,21, in dem die menschliche Natur als grundsätzlich böse oder schlecht beschrieben wird. Der Schwerpunkt der Diskussion ist der Unterschied zwischen „schlecht‟ und „böse‟ – ra und ro’a –, die zur Schlussfolgerung führt, dass die korrekte Übersetzung in Gen 8,21 hätte „schlecht‟ sein sollen. |
