The Hebrew scholar evaluating Ps 45:6 "thy throne the God" said this:
********
"your throne" in the Heb is a noun, m.s. w/2nd pers m.s. suffix pronoun.
********
Is this accurate?
What would be the same kind of analysis for the next clause:
"the scepter of your kingdom a righteous scepter"
He also said:
************
The second suggested transl also needs to be examined. "Your Throne? God
forever and forever". Two incomplete sentences! That violates common
grammatical rules.
************
Is this equally two incomplete sentences in the Hebrew?
"the scepter of your kingdom a righteous scepter"
I am trying to understand the [chiastic] parallelism of these two
clauses, that might aid translation, and I want to know if this is sound
advice.
