7. Formal Translation And also I {Yahweh, Sovereign Withholder} kept the rain back from you while there were still three months before the harvest; I made rain fall on one city, but on another city I did not make it fall. One plot was rained on, but the plot that did not receive rain dried up. |
7. Dynamic Translation I {Yahweh, Discerning Rain-Giver} held back rain from you even with three months still left until harvest. I sent rain over one city and left another without it; one field got rain, but the one that did not dried up. |
