Bible Retranslation Project (view source)
Revision as of 22:08, July 29, 2012
, 22:08, July 29, 2012→The project begins: Esther א: actually, just read the full Hebrew. It means "in the City", not "in the Palace". As Shushan was NOT in fact the capital, let's stick with "city".

|בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם--כְּשֶׁבֶת הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ עַל כִּסֵּא מַלְכוּתוֹ אֲשֶׁר בְּשׁוּשַׁן הַבִּירָה
|בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם--כְּשֶׁבֶת הַמֶּלֶךְ אֲחַשְׁוֵרוֹשׁ עַל כִּסֵּא מַלְכוּתוֹ אֲשֶׁר בְּשׁוּשַׁן הַבִּירָה

| is "his throne" OK for kise malkhuto? I've gone with "capital" for בִּירָה which I think reads neatly. (Would it be alright to translate Shushan as Susa, or is that too much of a leap?)

Response: Kise malkhuto literally means "royal chair". I think we can understand that to mean a throne. Also, Shushan was not the captial, it was where the King lived in the summer when the captial got too hot.

Updated response: That Hebrew word my computer is incapable of typing means "in the city", so I'll replace my palace edit with city.
