| 12. Formal Translation And she said, “As the LORD your God {Yahweh Elohekha, Promise Keeper} lives, I do not have a cake; I have only a handful of flour in the jar and a little oil in the jug, and behold, I am gathering two sticks so that I may prepare it for my son and myself, and we shall eat it and die.” |
| 12. Dynamic Translation She answered, “As surely as the LORD your God {Yahweh Elohekha, Faithful Provider} lives, I have no bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am collecting two sticks so that I can make something for my son and me, and then we will eat it and die.” |
