The Hebrew and English versions are not literal translations of each other. I was learning last night Mesectha Bava Basra with my Chavrusah.He had the Hebrew and I the English version. It came to a p’shat in the Gemara where the English verion didn’t have the answer in the foot notes but, in the Hebrew it did. Maybe, it just was a later version I don’t know. Another thing it pays to learn with someone who knows the Gemara or knows how to learn the Gemara before hand cause they can catch a discrepancy in the Gemara that a novice might not catch. Discrepancy you ask? Occasion and I mean very, extremely occasionally we have found a mistake. Meaning,that one Man De’amar was mixed up with another. Being that I am close to Artscroll I spoke to them about it and they told me that it happens and to report it so, that later versions will have the correction.
Whew. Longest post for me, ever. Have a wonderful day people.
