6. Formal Translation So says the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Judge}: For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not take it back, because they carried people off into complete captivity, to hand them over to Edom. |
6. Dynamic Translation This is what the LORD {Yahweh, Sentence Enforcer} says: For Gaza, after three crimes and after four, I will not withdraw it, because they deported an entire population to hand them over to Edom. |
