nehemiah 6:8 seems to be a direct statement from nehemiah about sanballet being a liar
I looked this verse up in several different translations and some of them source the lie from sanballet’s mind and some of them source the lie from sanballet’s heart
I don’t know greek or whatever the underlying language this english was translated from, but how could the english translation vary so much ?
what kind of greek words would be accurately translated into english as either heart/mind - soul, psyche, spirit ?
and of course any favorite websites that combine english/greek with concordance searches ? and aren’t there some other bible verses about words coming from the heart ?
here are some translations:
NAB
I sent him this answer: “Nothing of what you report has taken place; rather, it is the invention of your own mind.”
RSV
Then I sent to him, saying, “No such things as you say have been done, for you are inventing them out of your own mind.”
ESV
Then I sent to him, saying, "No such things as you say have been done, for you are inventing them out of your own mind
ASV
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart
KJV
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
YLT
And I send unto him, saying, `It hath not been according to these words that thou art saying, for from thine own heart thou art devising them
