Abstract

The meaning of מעדנת in 1 Sam 15:32 is disputed, variously being translated “trembling,” “in chains,” or “cheerfully.” Based on linguistic and contextual evidence, I argue that it is best translated “luxuriantly” or “well-fatted,” and depicts Agag like a fattened animal going to slaughter.

丰衣足食:撒母耳记上15:32中“耶和华”的意思

在撒母耳记上15:32中，“重重地”的意思是有争议的，有不同的翻译，“颤栗”，“被捆锁”，或“欢欢喜喜”。基于语言和上下文的证据，我认为它最好翻译成“华丽的”或“肥美的”，把阿加格描绘成一只肥硕的动物，准备被宰杀。
