18. Formal Translation And you shall say to the people, "Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you will eat meat, because you wept in the ears of the LORD {Yahweh, Hearer of Petition}, saying, 'Who will give us meat to eat? For it was better for us in Egypt.' Therefore the LORD will give you meat, and you will eat it." |
18. Dynamic Translation Tell the people, "Get ready for tomorrow—you will eat meat! You cried out in the hearing of the LORD {Yahweh, Listener of Complaint}, saying, 'Who will feed us meat? Life was better for us in Egypt.' Now the LORD will give you meat {basar: real food, not manna}, and you will eat it." |
