RBT Translation:
His name is Lover of the Horse
Tomorrow he desired to come out63b into the Land of Circuit [Galilaia].64 And he is finding Lover-of-the-Horse,65 and the Salvation is saying to himself, "Follow myself."
Unsplit.
Only horses (and other members of the equine family, such as donkeys and zebras) have a single, large, unsplit hoof on each foot. Hence, the symbolic significance of horses and donkeys.
LITV Translation:
And on the morrow, Jesus desired to go out into Galilee. And He found Philip, and says to him, Follow me!
ESV Translation:
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”

Footnotes

63b

Greek "ἔρχομαι" (érkhomai) - This verb primarily means "to come." With the "ἐξ-" it becomes "ἐξέρχομαι" meaning "coming out" properly. Coming in and coming out are necessary words to understand the whole of the dual nature of the feminine. From the mother of dead ones to the mother of living ones.

64

Strong’s #G1056, Galilaia. Of Hebrew origin from #1551 and #1550, galil which means revolving, rolling, a turning. Used of the pivot rod of Solomon’s revolving 2-panel door. The root Hebrew verb is galal #1556 to roll, roll away.

65

Philip’s name can be translated, so why not translate it? Strong’s #5376, Phillipos. From philo = beloved, friendly and hippos = horse. Horse-loving, lover of horses.
