The norm needs to explain how such a requirement is compatible with church documents giving priority to the Greek biblical text. Further, it is not clear how the Norm deals with the ecumenical implications of mandated translations. A comment from St. Jerome is appropriate here. Kinship terms that are clearly gender specific, as indicated by the context, should be respected in translation. Kinship terms in Hebrew are quite different from such terms in English.
Hebrew son is similarly broad.
Grammatical number and person of the original texts ordinarily should be maintained. This norm is violated by most translators. It is characteristic of Hebrew style, for example, to shift persons from second to third. One cannot regulate translation by general principles. The Hebrew and Greek lexicons give a variety of meanings and nuances for Hebrew adam and Greek anthropos , which the norms now forbid translators to use.
