24. Formal Translation Thus says the LORD {Yahweh, Sovereign Ruler}: You shall not go up or fight against your brothers, the sons of Israel. Return, each man, to his home, for this matter has come from Me. They listened to the word of the LORD and returned to their homes, according to the word of the LORD. |
24. Dynamic Translation The LORD {Yahweh, Supreme Authority} says: Do not fight your own brothers, the people of Israel. Go home, each of you, because this is my doing. They obeyed the LORD’s message and went back home just as He commanded. |
