    The homogenisation of the language of the Bible in the course of its translation shows out especially in the book of Revelation. Various apologetic devices are used to explain or excuse the problems in the Greek of the author but the most successful actually occurs in translation, where the problems disappear. This paper is a call for a bad translation of the book, that is, a translation that actually reflects the problems that occur in the Greek text. It raise the issues that would need to be addressed in the course of making such a translation, both internal to the text and also the issues of negotiating a comparative context that might inform the register of that translation. It then looks at two examples.

    In this article, I examine the interplay of transmission and exegesis in Zechariah's textual history, analyzing the strategies that early interpreters employed to create coherence in a difficult text. I use Zechariah's horse visions as examples, exploring their presentation in the early versions and the Book of Revelation. The following examination explores the form of Zechariah used by these ancient interpreters and the habits of reading that are implied in their presentation of reused material. The evidence suggests that, by the late Second Temple period, the majority of readers conceptualized Zech 1:8 and 6:1-5 as coreferential visions and that this linking was representative of a larger strategy of coherence. This strategy is also part of a wider tradition of correlating Zechariah's horses with other heavenly figures in the Hebrew Bible, a tradition that is most prevalent in Targum Jonathan.
