But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.

Verse 36 is found in chapter 17 of 2 Kings. After the deportation, the king of Assyria brings foreign populations to Samaria. These communities experience attacks by lions and request a priest to teach them the worship of the God of the land. The result is religious mixture: they fear the Lord but continue serving their own gods. The section explains, from the narrator’s perspective, the origin of a population whose religious identity will later become problematic. The issue is not simply the presence of foreigners, but a religion that does not abandon previous practices. The chapter concludes by reaffirming that the population did not truly follow the Lord.

sondern den HERRN, der euch aus Ägyptenland geführt hat mit großer Kraft und ausgerecktem Arm, den fürchtet, den betet an, und dem opfert;
Mas a Jehová, que os sacó de tierra de Egipto con grande poder y brazo extendido, a éste temeréis, y a éste adoraréis, y a éste haréis sacrificio.
A Jehová, que los sacó de la tierra de Egipto con gran poder y brazo extendido, a él temerán, ante él se inclinarán y a él ofrecerán sacrificios.
Mais vous craindrez l'Eternel, qui vous a fait monter du pays d'Egypte avec une grande puissance et à bras étendu; c'est devant lui que vous vous prosternerez, et c'est à lui que vous offrirez des sacrifices.
anzi riverite il Signore, il quale vi ha tratti fuor del paese di Egitto, con gran forza, e con braccio steso; esso adorate, ed a lui sacrificate.
Mas o SENHOR, que vos fez subir da terra do Egito com grande força e com braço estendido, a este temereis, e a ele vos inclinareis e a ele sacrificareis.
惟有那用大能和伸出來的膀臂領你們出 埃及 地的耶和華,你們當敬畏他,向他跪拜,向他獻祭。
