9. Formal Translation Let your eyes rest on the field where they will reap, and follow after them, the young women. Have I not commanded the young men not to touch you? And if you are thirsty, you shall go to the vessels and drink from what they have drawn. |
9. Dynamic Translation Watch the field where they are harvesting and follow after the women. Whenever you are thirsty, go to the water jars and drink from what they have drawn. |
