Let’s agree to let them live by their laws like they used to do. It was because of their laws, which we abolished, that they got angry and did all these things.”
And let us covenant with them, that they may live according to their own laws as before. For because of our despising their laws, they have been provoked, and have done all these things.
We will allow them to follow their own laws and customs as they did before. All this trouble started when we provoked them by abolishing their laws and customs.
Let us grant them freedom to live according to their own laws as formerly; it was on account of their laws, which we abolished, that they became enraged and did all these things.”
Let us grant them permission to live in accordance with their laws as they used to do, for it was on account of our abolition of these laws that they became angry and were provoked into doing all these things.”
Let us agree to let them live by their laws as they did before; for it was on account of their laws that we abolished that they became angry and did all these things.’
Let us agree to let them live by their laws as they did before; for it was on account of their laws that we abolished that they became angry and did all these things.’
Let us agree to let them live by their laws as they did before; for it was on account of their laws that we abolished that they became angry and did all these things.”
