Unser Lehrer MOSE

Non-PRO German to English Other Religion JUDAISM
This is from another fairytale (I posted a similar question a few days back).

Here, Mose is referred to as both Lehrer and Prophet. I would take this to be Moses but just wanted to double check as my dictionary has Moses as the same as the English spelling.

Danke i.v.

Simon


Unser Lehrer Mose hatte zur Gepflogenheit,
einsame Stätten aufzusuchen, wo
er mit sich selbst Zwiesprache hielt und wo
der Geist Gottes über ihn kam.

...

Da erhob sich der Prophet
und wollte sie trennen; ehe er aber hinzugekommen
war, hatte der Mann, der das Geld
verloren, den andern erschlagen und war
davongelaufen.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
