8. Formal Translation Mouth to mouth I speak with him, plainly and not in riddles; and the form of the LORD {Yahweh, Revealer of Glory} he beholds. So why were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses? |
8. Dynamic Translation I speak with him mouth to mouth {peh el peh: intimate, unmediated}, clearly and not in puzzles; he actually sees the LORD’s {Yahweh, Divine Presence} form. So why then were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses? |
