English to Hebrew: A Segment from Geza Roheim's article - "The Covenant of Abraham"
General field: Other
Detailed field: Psychology
Source text - English
During the excavation of the ruins of Gezer in Palestine a burial place of a very remarkable kind was discovered. Fourteen skeletons were found on the floor of a cylindrical chamber, or rather fourteen and a half. The half-skeleton was that of a girl about fourteen years of age. She had been cut or sawn through the middle 'at the eighth thoracic vertebra and at the frond ends the ribs had been divided at this level; it is plain that the section had been made while as yet the bones were supported by the soft parts.' The weapons buried with these corpses suggest that they belonged to the Canaanite race. Frazer supposes that the half-skeleton represents a peculiar form of human sacrifice. This interpretation is confirmed by another half-skeleton discovered at the same place. This is the half-skeleton of a boy about seventeen years old, who, like the girl in the cistern, had been cut or sawn through the middle between the ribs and the pelvis and, just as in the case of the girl, only the upper half of the body was found: the lower half was missing. The explanation suggested by the Professor Macalister was that we have here the remains of human victims who had been sacrificed and buried under the foundations of a building to give strength and stability to the edifice. Possibly the same explanation holds good for the skeletons of infants buried in large jars under the floor of the temple.		Translation - Hebrew
במהלך חפירות ארכיאולוגיות שנערכו בהריסות אשר בישוב גזר, פלשתינה, התגלה מקום קבורה מסוג מיוחד מאוד. ארבע-עשר שלדים נמצאו על רצפת חדר גלילי, או למעשה ארבע-עשר וחצי. חצי-השלד שנמצא היה של ילדה בסביבות גיל ארבע-עשר שנים. גופת הילדה שוסעה או נוסרה באמצעה, "בחוליה החזית השמינית, ובחזה שוסעו הצלעות בגובה זה; ברור כי החיתוך נעשה בעוד העצמות נתמכות על ידי החלקים הרכים". כלי-נשק אשר נקברו לצד הגופות מרמזים כי השתייכו הן לגזע הכנעני. פרייזר (Frazer) מציע הסבר על פיו חצי-השלד מייצג צורה מסוימת של קורבן אדם. פירוש זה מאושש על ידי חצי-שלד נוסף אשר התגלה במקום זה. זהו חצי-שלד של נער, בערך בגיל שבעה-עשר שנים, אשר בדומה לילדה בחדר שוסע או נוסר באמצעו בין הצלעות ואגן-הירכיים, וכמו במקרה הילדה רק חלקה העליון של הגופה נמצא: חלקה התחתון נעדר. ההסבר אשר הוצע לכך על ידי פרופ' מקליסטר (Macalister) היה כי לפנינו ניצבות שאריות של קורבנות אדם, אשר הוקרבו ונקברו תחת יסודותיו של מבנה למען יהא זה חזק ויציב. ייתכן ואותו הסבר תקף גם לגבי שלדי פעוטות אשר נמצאו קבורים בצנצנות ענק תחת רצפת המקדש.

Bio

I have worked on projects for leading companies and government entities worldwide, including - Toshiba, IBM, El Al, Google, medical companies, technology companies, different ministries, international projects, etc. 

My experience in the field of writing and translating goes back to 1998, when I first wrote for literary magazines worldwide, then started editing articles and lead writers, with literary workshops and soon after started working in content. Later, I was a Senior Content Specialist for eBay, worked with leading entities worldwide. During which I finished my BA in Business Management. 

A few years later, as I started an MA in English Literature and was a TA, I founded a content and translation business in Israel that provided services for international and local companies.
