Taking the time to understand the full meaning of a word can often provide a level of clarity and illumination to scripture that is lost in translation. As I ponder this passage with you, I think encrusted is probably the best english translation because it implies something that happens over time. Scum can build up quickly and usually can be cleaned. Encrusted makes me think of shipwrecks, and items that will never be the same. We are impacted by our sin. The saving grace of Jesus can wipe it away, but the scarring remains. The other translation used is rust, but with modern metals we really don't experience rust (except on cars) like people did then. Even with cars modern rustproofing and such has really changed how that term would impact the modern reader. Encrusted forces the reader to think of something different than their daily experience, and brings them closer to the meaning behind the original Hebrew than the other translations. Joel Mike,

I direct the media ministry of Bellevue Baptist and I want to invite you to visit with us for worship soon. I'm a fairly recent transplant to Memphis (moved from KC), I hope you're enjoying our city and the best BBQ around! Steve Mike,
