29. Formal Translation And he said to Gehazi, “Gird your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If you meet a man, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him. Place my staff upon the face of the boy.” |
29. Dynamic Translation Elisha told Gehazi, “Tie up your robe and get ready. Take my staff, go quickly, and if you see anyone on the way, do not stop to greet them, and if someone greets you, do not respond. Put my staff on the boy’s face.” |
