Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
"And," "but"
Some English translations begin many sentences in this chapter with the word "and" or "but" to indicate a sequence of events in the narrative. The ULB usually eliminates these words because the context of the narrative itself indicates that the events occur in sequence. It is acceptable to use these words if it is helpful in your translation.
