Offering of Livestock
The Hebrew qorbān (קָרְבָּן) translated offering
means “that which is brought near”
like the German word “Darnahung” appraoch.
Cattle or livestock is translated from Hebrew
to Newari or Nepal Bhasa
as “living beings brought up in a house”
or “living beings cared for in a house”
Today what do we offer or bringing near
that is cared for in a house
or in our lives
to bring us peace
as the title of Nepal Bhasa / Newar poet Srilaxmi Shrestha
Shantiya Shanti: Peace and only Peace
