This OET (very) Literal Version was designed to be used as a view into the original language words, so as to be an aid to understanding the source text for the Readers’ Version, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
