| 23. Formal Translation And now, swear to me here by God {Elohim, Faithful Oath Witness} that you will not deal falsely with me or with my descendants, or with my descendants after them; but according to the kindness that I have shown you, you shall do with me and with the land in which you have sojourned. |
| 23. Dynamic Translation So now, promise me by God {Elohim, Guardian of Agreements} right here that you will not deceive me or my children or my grandchildren; instead, as I have treated you with loyalty, you will treat me and this land where you have lived as a foreigner. |
