“I Will Not Give My Glory Unto Another”

Brant Gardner

Verse 11 restates the theme of verse 9 and provides a bracket around the Lord's statement of his reason for allowing the travails of Israel (and of Lehi's band). The restatement of "glory" in verse 11 further suggests that it is the better translation for verse 9 as it sets up a parallel concept where the meaning is both introduced and summarized by the emphasis on the glory of God.
