OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_would_go_up the_border the_valley_of_Ben Hinnom the_valley_of_Ben to the_slope_of the_Yəⱱūşī from_the_south that is_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) and_he/it_would_go_up the_border to the_top_of the_mountain which is_on the_face_of the_valley_of_Ben westward which is_at_the_end_of the_valley_of Rəfāʼīm northward.

OET (OET-RV) From there the border went up the valley of Ben Hinnom to the edge of the Yebusite region from the south (that is Yerushalem). Then the border went to the head of the hill opposite the Hinnom valley to the west, which is at the end of the valley of the Refa’ites to the north.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:1–63 The tribe of Judah received their land

This section describes the boundaries of the tribe of Judah and lists the towns that are within those boundaries.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The boundaries of Judah

The land of the tribe of Judah

Paragraph 15:5b-11

The north boundary of Judah started from the north end of the Dead Sea and went west from there to the Mediterranean Sea. This boundary did not go in a straight line. It swung south to avoid Jerusalem, which was part of the territory of Benjamin.

15:8a

From there the border went up the Valley of Hinnom

From there the border went up the Valley of Hinnom: The clause the border went up indicates that the boundary line climbed in elevation from the spring of En-rogel through the Valley of Hinnom.

the Valley of Hinnom: The phrase Valley of Hinnom refers to a valley that is southwest of Jerusalem.

Hinnom: Hinnom is the name of a person. The Hebrew word ben hinnom means “son of Hinnom.” Some English versions keep the Hebrew word and say “valley of Ben Hinnom.” It is recommended that you follow the tradition of the major language version in your area when you translate this name.

Here are some ways that English versions translate this name:

valley of the son of Hinnom (RSV, ESV, KJV)

valley of Ben Hinnom (NET, NIV, NABRE, NASB, NJPS, GW, NLT)

Hinnom Valley (GNT, CEV)

15:8b

along the southern slope of the Jebusites (that is, Jerusalem)

along the southern slope of the Jebusites (that is, Jerusalem): The phrase southern slope refers to the slope of the hill that is south of Jerusalem.15:8 Aharoni, p. 255.

of the Jebusites: The term Jebusites refers to the Jebus people. Jebus was also the name of their town at the time of Joshua. Later King David conquered this town and renamed it Jerusalem.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

along the south slope of Jerusalem, where the Jebus people live

beside the hill to the south of Jerusalem, which was then called Jebus

15:8c

and ascended to the top of the hill

and ascended to the top of the hill: The clause ascended to the top of the hill indicates that the border continued to climb up until it reached the top of a mountain.

Here is another way to translate this part of the verse:

the border climbed up to the top of the mountain

15:8d

that faces the Valley of Hinnom on the west,

that faces the Valley of Hinnom on the west: The clause faces the Valley of Hinnom on the west indicates that the mountain is on the west side of the Valley of Hinnom.

the Valley of Hinnom: The Valley of Hinnom is the same place as the “Valley of Hinnom” in verse 15:8a.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

which is on the west side of the valley of Hinnom

on the west side of the Hinnom Valley

15:8e

at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.

at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim: The Rephaim people were mentioned in Joshua 12:4 and you should translate the term the same way in both places.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

That mountain is on the northern side of the valley of Rephaim

It is on the northern edge of the Rephaim Valley

to/towards slope_of the=Yəⱱūşī from_[the],south she/it Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem)

to/towards slope_of the=Yəⱱūşī from_[the],south she/it Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem)

The author is speaking of the mountain on which Jerusalem was built as if it were a living thing that had a shoulder. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to the southern slope of Mount Zion]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

רֹ֣אשׁ הָ⁠הָ֗ר

head of,the_mountain

The author is speaking of this hill as if it were a living thing that had a head. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the top of the hill]

OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_would_go_up the_border the_valley_of_Ben Hinnom the_valley_of_Ben to the_slope_of the_Yəⱱūşī from_the_south that is_Yərūshālam/(Jerusalem) and_he/it_would_go_up the_border to the_top_of the_mountain which is_on the_face_of the_valley_of_Ben westward which is_at_the_end_of the_valley_of Rəfāʼīm northward.

OET (OET-RV) From there the border went up the valley of Ben Hinnom to the edge of the Yebusite region from the south (that is Yerushalem). Then the border went to the head of the hill opposite the Hinnom valley to the west, which is at the end of the valley of the Refa’ites to the north.

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.OET logo mark
