13. Formal Translation The LORD {Yahweh, Sovereign Judge} said to me, “Cast it to the potter—the splendid price at which they valued me.” Then I took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them into the house of the LORD for the potter. |
13. Dynamic Translation Then the LORD {Yahweh, Righteous Evaluator} told me, “Throw it to the potter! That is the noble amount they thought I was worth.” So I took the thirty silver coins and hurled them into the LORD’s house, to the potter. |
