7 Und Adoni-Besek sprach: Siebzig Könige mit abgeschnittenen Daumen an Händen und Füßen lasen unter meinem Tische auf. Wie ich getan, so hat mir Gott vergolten. Und sie brachten ihn herein nach Jerusalem, und er starb allda.


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.
