38. Formal Translation But to a god {le’loah, Deity of Strongholds} of fortresses he will give honor upon his pedestal; and to a god whom his fathers did not know he will honor with gold, and with silver, and with precious stone, and with desirable things. |
38. Dynamic Translation Instead, he will honor a god of fortresses by placing tribute on its platform. He will honor a god {le’loah, Hidden Power} unknown to his ancestors with gifts of gold, silver, precious stones, and treasures. |
