6. Formal Translation And the Lord {Adonai, Sovereign Actor} caused the camp of Aram to hear the sound of chariots, the sound of horses, the sound of a great army. And each man said to his brother, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to come against us.” |
6. Dynamic Translation The Lord {Adonai, Divine Intervener} made the Arameans’ camp hear what sounded like chariots, horses, and a mighty army. They said to each other, “Look! The king of Israel has paid the Hittite and Egyptian kings to attack us!” |
