They said, “Let’s all die in our innocence. Heaven and earth testify on our behalf that you are killing us unjustly.”
Saying: Let us all die in our innocency: and heaven and earth shall be witnesses for us, that you put us to death wrongfully.
They said, We will all die with a clear conscience. Let heaven and earth bear witness that you are slaughtering us unjustly.
They said, “Let us all die in innocence; heaven and earth are our witnesses that you destroy us unjustly.”
They only said, “Let us all die in a state of innocence. Heaven and earth are our witnesses that you are massacring us without the slightest justification.”
for they said, ‘Let us all die in our innocence; heaven and earth testify for us that you are killing us unjustly.’
for they said, ‘Let us all die in our innocence; heaven and earth testify for us that you are killing us unjustly.’
for they said, “Let us all die in our innocence; heaven and earth testify for us that you are killing us unjustly.”
for they said, “Let us all die in our innocence; heaven and earth testify for us that you are killing us unjustly.”
for they said, “Let us all die in our innocence; heaven and earth testify for us that you are killing us unjustly.”
for they said, “Let us all die in our innocence; heaven and earth testify for us that you are killing us unjustly.”
and said, Die we all in our simpleness (or in our innocence), and heaven and earth shall be witnesses on us (or for us), that unjustly ye lose (or destroy) us.
