28. Formal Translation Like the appearance of the bow seen in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD {Yahweh, Majestic Presence}. When I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking. |
28. Dynamic Translation Like a rainbow in the clouds on a day of rain, so was the shining light all around. This is what the glory of the LORD {Yahweh, Divine Splendor} looked like. When I saw it, I fell face down and I heard someone speaking. |
