The scholars dismissed the new translation as eisegesis, intended to support the revisionists.

Eisegesis is a type of interpretation where one reads their own ideas or beliefs into a text, often distorting the original meaning. It is considered a flawed approach to understanding religious or literary texts because it can lead to misinterpretation. Correct interpretation should involve drawing meaning from the text based on its original context and language.

Eisegesis is reading into a text what you want to believe. It is a derogatory remark used against those who use parts of scripture to prove a point. Like saying, "The hand of God" in the Bible proves that God is physical.
