Dear
Doves
My favorite german translation of the Bible is the
Elberfelder because it is the most accurate and has a lot of
footnotes for alternative translations. However, I
recently bought another Bible and to my surprise it
contained some books and additions to some books I have
never seen before. After some research in English
Online Bibles, I found the same additions in the NAB. I
don't know how you think about the NAB or those additions,
but nonetheless some of them are pretty much interesting:
Esther Chapter 11 (Mardochais Dream): http://www.newadvent.org/bible/est011.htm
5 And
this was his dream: Behold there were voices, and
tumults, and thunders, and earthquakes, and a
disturbance upon the earth [ =
RAPTURE?]. 6 And behold two great dragons came
forth ready to fight one against another. 7 And at their cry all
nations were stirred up to fight against the nation of
the just. 8 And that
was a day of darkness and danger, of tribulation and
distress, and great fear upon the earth. 9 And
the nation of the just was troubled fearing
their own evils, and was prepared for
death. 10 And
they cried to God: and as they
were crying, a little fountain grew into a very great
river, and abounded into many waters. 11 The light and the
sun rose up, and the humble were exalted, and
they devoured the glorious. 12 And when Mardochai
had seen this, and arose out of his bed, he was thinking
what God would do:
and he kept it fixed in his mind, desirous to know what
the dream should signify.
Also interesting: Daniel Chapter 13 and
14:
Just wanted to share that with you, maybe it
is of interest to some of you?
