5. Formal Translation And surely, for your blood, for your lives I {Elohim, Righteous Judge} will require an accounting; from the hand of every living creature I will require it; from the hand of the human I will require it; from the hand of a man—his brother—I will require the life of the human. |
5. Dynamic Translation And I {Elohim, Faithful Avenger} will certainly demand a reckoning for your lifeblood, which represents your life; from every animal I will require it; and from every human being—his brother—I will require the life of a human. |
