Daniel 10:21 word by word translation from original hebrew - DanielK. - 09-16-2023
Could anyone translate for me word by word Daniel 10:21?
The most important thing I want to know if there is "your" prince in this passage, or just "prince". All non- Jewish Bible translations, including Septuagint, Vulgata and national versions of the hebrew Bible, translates it as "your prince". According to this website:
https://biblehub.com/daniel/10-21.htm
there is only word "prince"- but also on this website they translate it as "your prince". So I want to know what is the Truth. thank You very much for the answear.

Hello Daniel, what is in English 2 words (your prince) is one in Hebrew.
Your (כֶֽם-) prince or leader (שַׂר): שַׂרְכֶֽם

Daniel 10:21. New International Version
21 but first I will tell you what is written in the Book of Truth. (No one supports me against them except Michael, your (prince / minister.)
Minister is the correct translation.

The Chabad website has it as -
" Indeed, I shall tell you what is inscribed in a true script, but no one strengthens himself concerning these matters except Michael, your prince."
Stone Edition has it as "your prince" as does the New Koren Tanakh.
Looks like the word "your" is part of the translation.

Cool, Jonathan Sacks is one of the Koren Tanakh translators. I could only find it as a book on Amazon and not as an online translation. What are the differences between the three translations?

BB2,
If I'm not mistaken, only the Chabad version is online, the Koren and Stone are not (although there may be a couple other Jewish-English translations that are).
What are the differences? Good question!
It's usually trying to make the right translation fit the verse, which isn't always easy when translating from Hebrew to English (or other languages to English either). Something gets lost with meaning or substance. Being an English word may relate to several Hebrew words, the true meaning and feeling of the word doesn't always come through.

Oh ok, I understand. Each translation is like a kaleidoscope in which you look at the original text from a different perspective.
Jonathan Sacks recalled in a video that he and his wife were in Israel and he used his Bible Hebrew knowledge to translate modern-day Hebrew. The result was sometimes quite funny.
The Chabad version is saved under my favorites and I like that you can see both languages.

Yes, Rabbi Sacks is one of my favorites, so sorry to see him go.
Here is another one you might be interested in if you haven;t seen it already -

It's really sad that he isn't among us anymore, always seing the good and the opportunities and looking for peace.
Thank you for the Sefaria-link! Much of it sounds like a part of 1001 Nights, mysterious and unknown.
