8
Der König antwortete und sprach: Gewiß-lich weiß ich nun, daß ihr Zeit gewinnen wollt, weil ihr erschaut habt, daß das Wort mein Ernst ist.
Daniel 2:8
This translation of the Bible was made by Leonhard Tafel, and published in 1911. Tafel was a leader of the Swedenborgian movement in Germany during the 1800's, and a leading Bible scholar. In this translation, Tafel followed the original Hebrew and Greek carefully, so as to preserve the inner layers of meaning that were explained in Swedenborg's exegetical works - also translated from Latin into German by Tafel and his sons.
