| 7. Formal Translation And the craftsman strengthened the smith; the one smoothing with the hammer supported the one striking the anvil, saying about the joining, “It is good”; and he fortified it with nails so that it would not be moved. |
| 7. Dynamic Translation So the craftsman encouraged the metalworker, and the one who used the hammer helped the one striking the anvil. They said about the soldering, “This looks good!” Then he made it firm with nails so that it would not fall over. |
