16 Terror and dread will fall on them. By the greatness of your arm they will be as still as a stone, until your people pass over, YHWH, until the people pass over whom you have purchased.

Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

17 You shall bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, the place, YHWH, which you have made for yourself to dwell in; the sanctuary, YHWH, which your hands have established.

Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.
