He always switched the language around so that it was very vague and could always be misinterpreted. When we translate a word into another language we must be very careful. Someone reading the contract in the Hebrew version may later claim that he meant one of the other three meanings. Yet Aramaic is not just a language in which a word can have more than one meaning. It is one where the very same word can have two opposite meanings.
Politicians are masters at such deception.
They use it all the time. Later, when they are caught with an outright lie, they always claim that it meant something else. Those who are familiar with the Camp David agreement signed by Egypt and Israel surely know that even though the Arabic and Hebrew versions are supposedly an accurate translation of the English version, the Israelis and Egyptians still can't agree on the exact meaning of many of its clauses. The Hebrew version does not match the Arabic version. There are countless discrepancies.
