JEWISH SAYINGS
 

Book of Esther 4:14

"For if you remain silent at this time, relief and rescue will arise for the Jews from elsewhere, and you and your father's household will perish; And who knows but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this and for this very occasion?"

I'm curious as to the translation since, although it captures the essence of the Hebrew text, it is not an accurate translation of the Hebrew.

Can you please provide your rendition?

Psalm 105:8-15

           He remembers his covenant forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
          the covenant he made with Abraham,
                 the oath he swore to Isaac.

          He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree,
           to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
         “To you I will give the land of Canaan
               as the portion you will inherit.”

          When they were but few in number,
              few indeed, and strangers in it,
         they wandered from nation to nation,
              from one kingdom to another.

         He allowed no one to oppress them;
            for their sake he rebuked kings:
           “Do not touch my anointed ones;
                 do my prophets no harm.”

Genesis 4:1-2 reads:

1. Adam made love to his wife Eve,
and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.

She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.”
2. Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.
