40. Formal Translation And Joshua struck down all the land: the hill country, the Negev, the lowland, and the slopes; and he struck down all their kings. He left no survivor, but devoted to destruction all that breathed, just as the LORD the God of Israel {Yahweh Elohei Yisrael, Holy War Commander} commanded. |
40. Dynamic Translation Joshua overran the entire territory—the hill country, the Negev, the lowland, and the slopes—together with all their kings. He left no one alive, but put every breathing thing under the ban, just as the LORD the God of Israel {Yahweh Elohei Yisrael, Faithful Covenant King} commanded. |
