| 9. Formal Translation Is it a small thing for you that the God of Israel{Elohei Yisra'el, Covenant Separator} has set you apart from the congregation of Israel to bring you near to Himself, to serve the work of the tabernacle of the LORD and to stand before the congregation to minister to them? |
| 9. Dynamic Translation Do you consider it insignificant that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the Israelites, brought you close to Him, appointed you to serve at the LORD’s{Yahweh, Holy Dwelling} tent, and to stand before the community to minister to them? |
