in all my regalia Explanation: I don't think a literal trasnlation sounds too good (not that the original is wonderful either), so I think I'd put it this way. HTH Sarah -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-19 11:28:41 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Regalia is approprate in this context as it combines the ideas of finery and regal symbols: \"regalia 1. The emblems and symbols of royalty, such as the crown and scepter. 2. The rights and privileges of royalty. 3. The distinguishing symbols of a rank, office, order, or society. 4. Magnificent attire; finery.\" The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language \"Yet I assure you Solomon in all his regalia was not robed like one of these\". (Luke 12:27) www.nacce.org/1994/gardeners.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-19 11:32:19 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- \"But because Pharaoh hardened his heart, God judged him even though He still used him as a blessing for others. He became the lesson to others of how not to do it. He became the example of foolishness in standing alone in all his regalia against the hurricane of Jehovah’s power.\" http://home.att.net/~belcroftbiblechurch/god_of_mercy_works_... |
