14. Formal Translation And I saw, and I arose, and I said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, “Do not fear them; remember the Lord {Adonai, Supreme Authority}, the great and awesome One. Fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.” |
14. Dynamic Translation When I surveyed the situation, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and everyone else, “Do not be afraid of them. Think about the Lord {Adonai, Mighty Defender}, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.” |
