Judges 8:19

And he said, They [were] my brethren, [even] the sons of my mother: [as] the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.

And he said {H559}, They were my brethren {H251}, even the sons {H1121} of my mother {H517}: as the LORD {H3068} liveth {H2416}, if {H3863} ye had saved them alive {H2421}, I would not slay {H2026} you.

Gid'on replied, "They were my brothers, my mother's sons. As surely as ADONAI is alive, I swear that if you had spared them, I would not kill you."

β€œThey were my brothers,” Gideon replied, β€œthe sons of my mother! As surely as the LORD lives, if you had let them live, I would not kill you.”

And he said, They were my brethren, the sons of my mother: as Jehovah liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
