| 2. Formal Translation Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, so it can serve as a garden, because it is adjacent to my house. I will offer you a better vineyard in exchange, or, if it seems right in your eyes, I will pay you its value in silver.” |
| 2. Dynamic Translation Ahab said to Naboth, “Let me have your vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, because it is close to my house. I will give you a better vineyard instead, or if you prefer, I will pay you its full value.” |
