NOTE: the Martin Luther reference ( 0:47 ) comes from this letter he wrote to his friend Spalatin when he and his team were translating the Torah into German in the winter of 1522-1523; he was translating from Hebrew, but had some difficulty with the names of some animals (this is an issue with some modern translations too, so it isn't surprising) and as to which are kosher and which are not. The letter reads: "Among the Hebrews, Latins, and Greeks, [the names of] these animals are terribly confused, so that we have to guess at what they are on the basis of the genus and species of the animals. [...] I do not know what [the Vulgate translation] is thinking when [it] mentions among the kosher animals the goat, stag, antelope, and giraffe. I wish that you would undertake this part of the work. Take a Hebrew Bible and try to find out all about these animals through careful research, so that we can be sure about these things. I do not have so much time. Farewell, and pray for me."
