7. Formal Translation And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward the heavens and swore by the Ever-Living One {chai haolam, Guardian of Oaths} that it will be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people is shattered, all these things will be completed. |
7. Dynamic Translation I listened as the man dressed in linen, who stood above the river’s waters, lifted both his right and his left hands toward the heavens and swore by the Everlasting One {chai haolam, Source of Unending Life} that it will last for a time, times, and half a time. When the strength of the holy people is finally broken, all these things will reach their end. |
