RBT Hebrew Literal:

The Cast Seed/Building Stone

And she, herself,³³ is the Testimony of the Favored³⁴ when the Casters^34a sent away toward himself priests and Wreathed-ones,^34b from out of Foundations of Peace ("Jerusalems"), that they might implore himself, "Who are you, yourself?"

Levites, Wreathed Ones, enjoined.

The Hebrew word לויה (livyah) has the meaning of "something attached" or "a wreath." It is derived from the same root as "Levi" (לוי), the name of the tribe, emphasizing the idea of being "attached" or "joined". A Levite (from above) is one who is eternally united with himself--the first and last becoming one.

Who are you? What is Your Name?

Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem that they might ask him, Who art thou?

LITV Translation:
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites that they might ask him, Who are you?

Footnotes

33

she is a testimony. That is, Hagar, the one who was given into the bosom of the Father (Gen. Hagar was sent away (divorced) in an eternal sense so that she should "come back around". Strong’s #G3778, hauté. Demonstrative pronoun. She, this-one. A feminine singular pronoun connected the feminine noun witness. It is not neuter. Choose whether to render the word "this" or "she" is a matter of bias.

34

Ancient Greek adds a definite article the (#G3588) to proper names.

34a

Greek #2453, Ἰουδαῖος, Jewish, Jews. From the fourth son of Jacob [Heel Chaser], and the tribe named after him. The meaning is derived from Genesis 29:35 from Leah, his blind/poor sight mother who said, "The Foot-strike, I am casting/throwing [אוֹדֶה odeh] the eternal self He Is..."

This word אוֹדֶ֣ה is the first person incomplete Hiphil causative form of the verb ידה yadah. It means to throw or cast with the hand, yad meaning "hand". Cf Strongs #3034. The meaning "give thanks, laud, praise;" and thus Jews as "praisers/praised ones" is an extended, metaphorical meaning based on the idea of using the hand somehow in an act of praise or giving thanks. As Strongs Concordance says,

"A primitive root; used only as denominative from yad; literally, to use (i.e. Hold out) the hand; physically, to throw (a stone, an arrow) at or away; especially to revere or worship (with extended hands);"

Even shooting arrows,

Those who bend the bow, shoot [yadah] towards her, do not spare..." (Jeremiah 50:14 RBT)

 

34b

Jews from Jerusalem, priests and Levites. Hebrew words translated. Jews (Yehudim) means praised ones or cast ones (as a seed), Jerusalem is Foundation of Completeness/Peace (Yarah and Shalom), and Levi means garland or wreath, signifying eternally intertwined/joined.
