# The law, which came 430 years afterward, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God In some languages it might be strange to speak of a law coming or setting aside a covenant. It might be clearer to make explicit who gave the law. Alternate translation: "When God gave the law 430 years later, he did not set aside the covenant that he had previously established" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]]) # set aside "cancel" # 430 years "four hundred and thirty years" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]]) # God, to nullify the promise "God; that is, it does not nullify the promise" # nullify the promise "to make the promise worthless" or "to make things as if the promise had never been made"
