| 13. Formal Translation And they said to them, “You shall not bring the captives here, for guilt before the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Judge} is upon us. You are proposing to increase our sins and our guilt, for great is the guilt upon us, and wrath and anger is upon Israel.” |
| 13. Dynamic Translation They said, “Do not bring those prisoners here. We already bear guilt before the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Arbiter}; will you add even more to our sins and our guilt? Our guilt is already heavy, and the LORD’s anger burns against Israel.” |
