2 Und seine Knechte sprachen zu ihm: Lasset sie suchen meinem Herrn, dem König, ein Mädchen, eine Jungfrau, daß sie vor dem König stehe und seine Pflegerin sei, und sie soll an deinem Busen liegen, auf daß mein Herr, der König, warm werde.


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.
