In biblical Hebrew, it is שְׁאָר rather than שְׁיָר. This is a vocab distinction. It means something like “the remnants (last ones) of the Great Assembly.”Glenn Dean wrote: ↑Sat May 06, 2023 9:54 pm מִשְּׁיָרֵי - I thought this was from שַׂר (leader), but with the Yod isn't that "to sing". So how is the translation "last of the great assembly"????
