TEXT
1 S²rḥʾṯ ḏt-Wʾln s²ymt mws¹ṭ byt-s¹
TRANSLATIONS
| English | |
1 S²rḥʾṯ she of Wʾln put (this bowl) as furniture of His temple. |
| 1 | The suffix pronoun s¹ is masculine singular, while the subject is feminine. It seems better to translate "His temple" than "her house". Fore the translation of mws¹ṭ, see Multhoff, Stein 2008. |
