4. Formal Translation But a distance shall exist between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure; do not come near it, so that you may know the way you must go, for you have not passed this way before. |
4. Dynamic Translation Maintain a distance of about two thousand cubits by measure, and do not approach it. This will help you discern the path you should take, since you have never been this way before. |
