<DIV>I don't know, how do they translate "Hakol tzafui vehareshus
nesunah"? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In my whole life I have never heard it or seen it translated any other
way than "Hashem knows what will happen and nevertheless we have free will."
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I can't think of any other translation that would make sense.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I just checked some translations of Pirkei Avos 3:19:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ArtScroll: Everything is foreseen, yet the freedom of choice is
given.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Birnbaum: Everything is foreseen [by God], yet freewill is granted
[to man]. (Their brackets)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Koren: All is foreseen, yet freedom of choice is given.</DIV>
