24. Formal Translation And the LORD {Yahweh, Plague Bringer} did so; a dense swarm came into Pharaoh’s house and into the houses of his servants, and throughout all the land of Egypt the land was ruined because of the swarm. |
24. Dynamic Translation So the LORD {Yahweh, Divine Judge} acted, and thick swarms invaded Pharaoh’s palace, his officials’ homes, and all of Egypt—the land was badly spoiled {tishachet: ruined, brought to decay} by the swarms. |
