16. Formal Translation They said to him, “Behold now, there are your servants, fifty men, sons of strength. Let them go now and seek your master, lest the Spirit of the LORD {Yahweh, Divine Mover} carry him and cast him on one of the mountains or in one of the valleys.” But he said, “You shall not send them.” |
16. Dynamic Translation They told him, “Look, we, your servants, have fifty strong men. Please let them go and look for your master, in case the Spirit of the LORD {Yahweh, Powerful Agent} has picked him up and set him down on a mountain or in a valley.” But Elisha replied, “Do not send them.” |
