1. Formal Translation After these matters were completed, the leaders came to me and said, “The people of Israel, including the priests and the Levites, have not kept themselves separate from the peoples of the lands; they have acted according to their abominations—those of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites.” |
1. Dynamic Translation When all of this was finished, the officials approached me and reported, “The Israelites—even the priests and Levites—have not set themselves apart from the peoples around them. Instead, they have copied the offensive customs of the Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites.” |
