T4T On that day, David said to his soldiers, “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel to enter the city. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—and we will find out if any blind and crippled people will be able to stop them!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”

LEB David had said, “On that day when we attack the Jebusites,[fn] one must attack the lame and the blind,those who hate the soul of David, by means of the water supply.” For thus the blind and the lame would say, “He cannot come into the house.”

BBE And that day David said, Whoever makes an attack on the Jebusites, let him go up by the water-pipe, and put to death all the blind and feeble-footed who are hated by David. And this is why they say, The blind and feeble-footed may not come into the house.
