ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
Great indeed and exceedingly to be admired are the delicacies which you sent, in abundance, in timeliness, in worth; yet they are not equal to your affection, your piety, your solicitude. By which it is proved that it was not so much your regard that was lacking to us as your presence. The festival was made unimpeded by the prosperity of your intercessions: yet by as much of bodily fare as was added to it, by so much was there lacking, contrary to custom, of spiritual banquets—which, if God grant them to me in a future supply, may He deign then to display together with you, even as He now deigns to transmit them through you.
