Martin Luther once said:
"The Hebrew language is the very best and richest in words, and pure, does not beg, has its own color. [...] When I was younger, I wanted to learn this language, because without it, one can no longer properly understand the Scriptures. That's why they said rightly: The Hebrews drink out of the original spring, The Greeks drink out of the stream flowing out of the stream, The Latins, however, out of the puddle."
(WA TR 1, 524.21f., 525.15-20, see also WA TR 6, No. 6805)
Personally, I completely agree with Martin Luther. No one will ever fully understand the Bible unless they read it in Hebrew and Greek. The languages differ greatly, so anyone could understand a different interpretation and that is dangerous.
