6. Formal Translation And the LORD {Yahweh, Sovereign Discerner} said, “Behold, they are one people, and one language is for them all; and this is what they have begun to do, and now nothing they plan will be out of-reach for them.” |
6. Dynamic Translation The LORD {Yahweh, Wise Judge} said, “Look, they are one people and they all share one language. This is only the start of what they will attempt; soon, nothing they purpose to do will be held back from them.” |
