<P> However, the word "know" in the King James Version has been used to refer to sexual intercourse . One example can be found in Genesis 4: 1 between Adam and Eve: </P> <P> And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.--Genesis 4: 1 </P> <P> Some Hebrew scholars believe that yada, unlike the English word know, requires the existence of a "personal and intimate relationship". For this reason, many of the most popular of the 20th century translations, including the New International Version, the New King James Version, and the New Living Translation, translate yada as "have sex with" or "know...carnally" in Gen 19: 5 </P> <P> Those who favor the non-sexual interpretation argue against a denotation of sexual behavior in this context, noting that while the Hebrew word for know appears over 900 times in the Hebrew Scriptures, only 1% (13--14 times) of those references are clearly used as a euphemism for realizing sexual intimacy . Instead, those who hold to this interpretation see the demand to know as demanding the right to interrogate the strangers . </P>
