OET (OET-LV) And_we_said and_it_was if/because they_will_say to_us and_near/to generations_of_our tomorrow and_we_will_say look_at DOM the_copy_of the_altar_of YHWH which they_made ancestors_of_our not for_burnt_offering and_not for_sacrifice if/because is_a_witness it between_us and_between_you(pl).

OET (OET-RV) If they do say anything like that, then our descendants will be able to reply, ‘See that copy of Yahweh’s altar which isn’t used for burnt offerings or sacrifices, our ancestors built that as a reminder for both you all and us.’

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 22:9–34 The eastern clans built an altar beside the Jordan River

Before the clans of Reuben, Gad and half the clan of Manasseh returned to their homes on the east side of the Jordan River, they built an altar beside the river on the west side. This made the clans on the west side of the river angry. They thought the clans from the east side were rebelling against Yahweh and being unfaithful to the covenant. When the clans from the east side explained their reason for building the altar, the other Israelites were pleased and stopped being angry.

22:28a

Therefore we said, ‘If they ever say this to us or to our descendants,

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

So we said to each other,

So we thought,

If they ever say this to us or to our descendants: Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

If they speak like this to us or to our descendants someday

If they say this to us or to our descendants in the future

22:28b

we will answer: Look at the replica of the altar of the LORD that our fathers made,

we will answer: Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

then we will say

we will answer them

Look at the replica of the altar of the LORD: The Hebrew sentence that the BSB translates as Look at the replica of the altar of the LORD is more literally “look at the copy of the altar of Yahweh.”

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

then we will say, “Look at the copy of the altar of Yahweh,

We will answer them, “Look. We have here a copy of Yahweh’s altar.

22:28c

not for burnt offerings or sacrifices,

that our fathers made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices: Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

that our ancestors made. But it was not for the purpose of offering burnt offerings or sacrifices.

Our ancestors made it, but they did not make it to offer burnt offerings or sacrifices on it.

22:28d

but as a witness between us and you.’

but as a witness between us and you: This clause is the same in Hebrew as the first part of verse 22:27. You should translate these words as much as possible in the same way as you did the words in that verse.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וַ⁠נֹּ֕אמֶר וְ⁠הָיָ֗ה כִּֽי־יֹאמְר֥וּ אֵלֵ֛י⁠נוּ וְ⁠אֶל־דֹּרֹתֵ֖י⁠נוּ מָחָ֑ר וְ⁠אָמַ֡רְנוּ רְא֣וּ אֶת־תַּבְנִית֩ מִזְבַּ֨ח יְהוָ֜ה אֲשֶׁר־עָשׂ֣וּ אֲבוֹתֵ֗י⁠נוּ לֹ֤א לְ⁠עוֹלָה֙ וְ⁠לֹ֣א לְ⁠זֶ֔בַח כִּי־עֵ֣ד ה֔וּא בֵּינֵ֖י⁠נוּ וּ⁠בֵינֵי⁠כֶֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,we_said and=it_was that/for/because/then/when say to,us and=near/to generations_of,our in_time_to_come and,we_will_say look DOM replica_of altar_of YHWH which/who they_had_acquired ancestors_of,our not for,burnt_offering and=not for,sacrifice that/for/because/then/when witness he/it between,us and,between,you(pl) )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [And we decided that if they spoke to us or to our descendants in the future, we would show them that this was a copy of Yahweh’s altar, not for offerings or sacrifices, but as a witness between us and them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲבוֹתֵ֗י⁠נוּ

ancestors_of,our

The eastern representatives are speaking as if our fathers were the actual fathers of the current generation of Israelites. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [our ancestors]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

לֹ֤א לְ⁠עוֹלָה֙ וְ⁠לֹ֣א לְ⁠זֶ֔בַח

not for,burnt_offering and=not for,sacrifice

The eastern representatives are not referring to specific offerings or sacrifices. They mean these things in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: [not for burnt offerings or sacrifices]

OET (OET-LV) And_we_said and_it_was if/because they_will_say to_us and_near/to generations_of_our tomorrow and_we_will_say look_at DOM the_copy_of the_altar_of YHWH which they_made ancestors_of_our not for_burnt_offering and_not for_sacrifice if/because is_a_witness it between_us and_between_you(pl).

OET (OET-RV) If they do say anything like that, then our descendants will be able to reply, ‘See that copy of Yahweh’s altar which isn’t used for burnt offerings or sacrifices, our ancestors built that as a reminder for both you all and us.’

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
