6. Formal Translation And they did not ask, “Where is the LORD {Yahweh, Liberator and Guide} who brought us up from the land of Egypt and led us in the wilderness in a land of desert plain and pit, in a land of dryness and shadow of death, through a land where no one passed and no one dwelt?” |
6. Dynamic Translation They never asked, “Where is the LORD {Yahweh, Deliverer in Hardship} who brought us out of Egypt and guided us through the wilderness, across desert plain and pit, through a land of dryness and utter darkness, through a land where no one traveled and no one ever lived?” |
