RBT Hebrew Literal:
Cain vs. Abel
And if you had recognized who it is—Mercy I desire, and not Sacrifice–you would not have judged down the innocent.
Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And if ye knew what it is, I will mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the innocent.
LITV Translation:
But if you had known what this is, "I desire mercy and not sacrifice," you would not have condemned the guiltless. Hos. 6:6
ESV Translation:
And if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.
