George,
I see you tried and you enjoyed the experience, I hope.
I think it is important for others too that you wrote that reading another German language is quite possible. On the website I mentioned you can find articles in Afrikaans too (by J.R. Visser). You should try Norse in the older editions of Nestle ......
Today I read in my newspaper than knowing a second (!) language gives you the chance to keep your mind longer fresh. So there is much hope for us!
But now the question. It's about an idiom indeed. "Buikspreken" is to speak as a ventriloquist. To let the Bible "buikspreken" means that one lets the Bible say what it does not say itself.
Good luck with the other articles.

If you can read Dutch - I wrote an article about some texts where "all" is
not meant universally: "Allen of niet allen - dat is de kwestie" (All or not
all - that's the question),

I repeat what I wrote before: if you know English and German and have some
feeling for languages, reading Dutch is not difficult.

Well, sometimes. Then again you can run across something that seems to make no sense -- probably because it's some kind of idiom. Can you explain
Het blijkt dus dat "allen" of "alles" in de Bijbel wel degelijk iets anders kan betekenen dan allen of alles in absolute zin. Daarbij laten we de Bijbel niet buikspreken.
"It seem thus that 'everyone' or 'all' in the Bible might well intend something other than everyone or all in the absolute sense." is fairly clear. what is the following sentence?
