13. Formal Translation And Gideon said to Him, “Please, my lord; if the LORD {Yahweh, Covenant Deliverer} is with us, then why has all this befallen us? And where are all His wonders that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has abandoned us and delivered us into the hand of Midian.” |
13. Dynamic Translation Gideon said to Him, “Pardon me, sir, but if the LORD {Yahweh, Mighty Savior} is truly with us, then why has all this happened? Where are all the miracles our fathers told us about when they said, ‘Did not the LORD bring us out of Egypt?’ But now the LORD has left us and handed us over to Midian.” |
