20. Formal Translation For it was from the LORD {Yahweh, Sovereign Director} that their hearts were hardened to confront Israel in battle, so that they might be devoted to destruction and be shown no mercy, so that they would be destroyed just as the LORD commanded Moses. |
20. Dynamic Translation The LORD {Yahweh, Instruction Giver} made their hearts stubborn so they would wage war against Israel, receive no mercy, and be wiped out completely, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
