| 19. Formal Translation And the sons of Israel said to him, “We will go up by the highway, and if we and our livestock drink your water, we will pay its price. Only, there is no other matter—let us pass through on foot.” |
| 19. Dynamic Translation The people of Israel replied, “We will take the main road, and if we or our livestock drink any of your water, we will pay for it. We only want to pass through on foot.” |
