Song of Songs 1:9 The Complete Tanakh (Tanach) – Hebrew Bible Version: At the gathering of the steeds of Pharaoh’s chariots have I silenced you, my beloved.
The KJV reads so differently: I have compared thee, O my love, to a company of horses in Pharaoh’s chariots.
There are two major differences the word translated Silenced in The Hebrew Bible and Compare in the KJV. Clearly even in the Inerlinear the word is Silenced and the idea is that of Exodus 14:14 when God came to the rescue and silenced the cries of the Hebrews. This will also help make sense of the following verses relating to the Jewels that were plundered as was the sea.
The other cool word that is translated differently is At verses To, which is how do you want to translate the first letter of the verse which is a Lamed as is the case in Jeremiah 10:13 a similar verse and even the KJV team translated it At.
So for me this is a critical way to see how Jesus is telling us His love story for Israel, but also in my own life – I share my story in this episode of how he Silenced my cry.
