9:4 OSHB note: We agree with both BHS 1997 and BHQ on an unexpected reading.

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Though enemies capture them and force them to go to a foreign land]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
