6. Formal Translation For forty years the sons of Israel walked in the wilderness until all the men of war who went out from Egypt and did not obey the voice of the LORD {Yahweh, Promise Upholder} were consumed, because the LORD had sworn that He would not let them see the land that the LORD had sworn to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey. |
6. Dynamic Translation The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for forty years until every one of the fighting men who left Egypt and refused to obey the LORD {Yahweh, Oath Keeper} died. The LORD had vowed not to let them see the land He had pledged to give to our ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey. |
