| 9. Formal Translation But I {Yahweh, Name Preserver} acted for the sake of My name, so as not to be profaned before the eyes of the nations among whom they were and in whose sight I made Myself known by bringing them out of the land of Egypt. |
| 9. Dynamic Translation Still, I {Yahweh, Honor Defender} acted to protect My name, so it would not be disgraced in front of the nations among whom they lived and in whose sight I revealed Myself by rescuing them from the land of Egypt. |
