16. Formal Translation From Dan came the resonant snort of his horses; at the neighing of his mighty steeds the entire land quaked. They advanced and laid waste the land and its fullness, the city and those dwelling within it. |
16. Dynamic Translation The snort of his horses was audible all the way from Dan. At the clamor of his powerful mounts neighing, the whole country shook. They surged in and consumed the land with everything in it—the city and its inhabitants. |
