| 3. Formal Translation Say to them, “For your generations every man who draws near from among any of your offspring to the holy things which the sons of Israel consecrate to the LORD {Yahweh, Holy Recipient}, while his uncleanness is upon him — that soul shall be cut off from before Me {Yahweh, Divine Judge}. I am the LORD.” |
| 3. Dynamic Translation Tell them, ‘For all your future generations, if any of your descendants comes near the sacred things that the Israelites set apart for the LORD {Yahweh, Set-Apart One} while still unclean, that person must be separated from My presence. I am the LORD.’ |
