Does anyone know how to write "cleansed by the living water" in hebrew?
-Thanks

מִטַּחֵר עַל־יְדֵי הַמַים הָחַיִים

mitaher al-yedey hamaym hah'ayim.

Wait for confirmation from Gilen.

Be careful ! טִהֵר means "to cleanse" ! "To be cleansed" is the regular form טָהַר.

And instead of using עַל־יְדֵי prefer the prefix ב in this case.

So it will be : טהור במים החיים (singular, masculine).

Replace טהור by טהורים (plural, masculine) / טהורה (singular, feminine) / טהורות (plural, feminine).

Hello Gilen, and thanks for the correction.

I was in doubt whether to use "be" or "al-yedey" for "by" (and made a wrong choice in the end

), but the conjugation of the verb clearly still beats me...

Gosh, I don't know... I think that's spelled in the wrong direction.
Hebrew is written right-to-left. That looks like left-to-right to me.

All that I have recognized there is an "'al yedey" spelled in the wrond direction... I do not recognize any other word. Which is "water"? And which is "living"? Water is always in the plural in Hebrew. Hence, living must be in the plural as well. I see no pluran ending there. (ים)

Wait for Gilen. But until he shows up, my temporary answer is "NO".

yes, if you read it letter by letter in the wrong direction it seems to say something like clanse(d) by watered revival, or maybe something better phrased but I cannnot judge, let's wait for Gilen

It is actually : נקע על ידי המחיה הקשה (naq`a `al yedei hamih'ya haqasha)

It means: "he broke away by the hard subsistence".

actually השקה (that's where it would be water) - you need to practice reading English right-to-left and Hebrew left-to-right

That's true that I'm not used to read Hebrew from left to right !
