| 11. Formal Translation She said, “Let the king now remember the LORD {Yahweh, Oath Witness} your God {Elohim, Covenant Guardian}, so that the avenger may not multiply to destroy my son.” And he said, “As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground.” |
| 11. Dynamic Translation She pleaded, “Please, may the king invoke the LORD {Yahweh, Promise Keeper} your God {Elohim, Covenant Ally}, to prevent the avenger from causing more destruction, so that my son will not be killed.” The king answered, “As surely as the LORD lives, not a single hair on your son’s head will fall to the earth.” |
