5. Formal Translation And He {Yahweh, Sovereign Revealer} said to me, “Son of man, lift up now your eyes toward the north.” So I lifted up my eyes northward, and behold, this image of jealousy stood north of the altar gate in the entryway. |
5. Dynamic Translation Then He {Yahweh, Visionary Guide} said to me, “Human one, look toward the north.” When I looked, I saw this statue of jealousy at the entrance north of the altar gate. |
