| 15. Formal Translation But he rebelled against him by sending his envoys to Egypt to obtain horses and a great people. Will he succeed? Will the one who does these things escape? Can he break a covenant {berit: binding agreement, often sworn before God} and be delivered? |
| 15. Dynamic Translation But he turned against him and sent his officials to Egypt for horses and a large army. Can someone who does such things expect to succeed? Can anyone break a covenant and still get away with it? |
