And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, |
They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, |
And they love the place of honor at banquets, and the seats of honor in the synagogues, |
they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; |
They love the place of distinction and honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues [those on the platform near the scrolls of the Law, facing the congregation], |
Moreover, they are fond of the most prominent places at the dinners, and the chief seats in the synagogues, |
they love seats of honour at dinner parties and front places in the synagogues. |
and they like the places of honor at feasts and the front seats in synagogues, |
And 5037 love 5368 the 3588 uppermost rooms 4411 at 1722 feasts, 1173 and 2532 the 3588 chief seats 4410 in 1722 the 3588 synagogues, 4864 |
