9. Formal Translation And let the garment and the horse be given into the hand of one of the king’s nobles, the distinguished officials; and let them clothe the man whom the king delights to honor, and cause him to ride on the horse in the open square of the city, and let them proclaim before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.” |
9. Dynamic Translation Let the robe and horse be turned over to one of the king’s most honored officials, so they can dress the man the king wishes to honor, and have him ride the horse through the city streets, proclaiming in front of him, “This is what is done for the man the king wants to honor!” |
