8 Daniel aber setzte sich vor in seinem Herzen, daß er sich nicht mit den leckeren Speisen des Königs und mit dem Weine, den er trank, beflecken wollte, und ersuchte den Obersten der Verschnittenen, daß er sich nicht beflecken müßte.


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.
