Interesting to hear about these deliberately literal translations.

Can I ask one question about how literal they really are? I have a

translations render )EREK )APPAYIM in Exodus 34:6 etc? Do they say
that YHWH has a long nose, "length of nostrils" or something like
that? I have never heard of an English translation which does so and

truth,
