Commandment "Thou shall not
iake the name of the Lird thy
Cod in vain" reads "You

name of the Lord, your God: for
the Lord will not clear one who
swears falsely by His name."
Dr. Harry M. Orlindiy. head of
the editorial committee, said that
''within the context of the Ten
temmandments the Hebrew
words can mean only that it is
forbidden to take a false oath in
the name of God."

CALLS FOR OBSERVANCE
WASHINGTON 'LTD Ft
ent Kerwdv Wednesday railed
for public observances from now
til next Mv t
the lT5th anniversary of the sign
lrg of the U S Constitution,
Orlm-ky said the lext is the
first direct Unjlish Iran lation
from Uw Hebrew because all pre
vious versions were either influ
enced or taken directly from the
Latin Vulgate or Greek Seplugint.
Orlinsky declared the new wurk
is more accurate than prior Old
Testament versions because it
was translated "sense (or sense
rather than word for word."
He said "a word for word trans
lation is unfair to the early Jew
ish scrib?s who used idiomatic
expressions, since it doesn't real
ly capture the sense of the ex
pression. We have not at any
time abandoned the literal mean
ing of the idiom."
Shads New Light
Orlinsky, professor of Bible at
the Hebrew Union College-Jewish
Institute of Religion in New York,
explained tliat the new interpre
tations found in the text have
been made in light of "fresher,
more accurate knowledge" gained
from lecent archaeological and
linguistic discoveries in the Near
East.
The new version also states that
Moses and the children of Israel
did not cross the Red Sea but the
Sea of Reeds.
According to Orlinsky they ac
tually Ci'ossed "a marshy aiva
north of the Red Sea where the
Suez Canal lies today." litis area
was known as the Sea of Reeds
Edwin Wolf II, chairman of the
publication committee, said the
purpose of the new translation is
to update the archaic Euglisn ur.cd
in previous versions of the Bible
while retaining their poetry. He
described the committee s work
as "the most accurate translation
of the Old Testament ever made
in any language."

is repo
rted
WASHINGTON (ITU The
number of U.S. jobholders in
creased by 500,000 in September to
reach a record employment level
of 56.2 million, the government re
ported today.
Labor Secretary W. Willard
Wirtt attributed most of the gain
in nonfarm employment to in
creased jobs in the nation's
schools and the auto industry.
About 400.000 etnploves were
'added by state and local govern
ments, most of them school teach
ers. There was a pickup of 125.000
jobs in the auto industry as pro
duction of 19RJ models got under
way. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
said nonfarm payroll employment
was up 1.25 million from Septem
ber 1961. On a seasonally adjust
ed basis, the September total was
about the same as in June. Sea
sonally adjusted factory employ
ment was at 17.1 million during
September, about 150.000 below the
post-recession high in June.
Despite the increase in jobs,
however, the nation's unemploy
ment rate remained at S8 per
cent of the total labor force. The
administration goal is to pare it
to 4 per cent.
The factory work week which
had dipped since April rose by
two-tenths of an hour between
August and September to 40.6
liours, the highest level since 195.
