In the 16th century, William Tyndale set out to translate the Bible from Hebrew and Greek into English, declaring to a well - educated man: “If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plough shall know more of the Scripture than thou doest. ”
وَعَلَى ٱلرَّغْمِ مِنْ حَمْلَةٍ شَنَّهَا رِجَالُ ٱلدِّينِ لِحَرْقِ كُلِّ ٱلْكُتُبِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةِ ٱلَّتِي يَعْثُرُونَ عَلَيْهَا ،‏ ٱنْتَشَرَتْ تَرْجَمَةُ تِنْدَلَ ٱنْتِشَارًا كَبِيرًا .‏
