OET interlinear JOS 2:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠עַתָּ֗ה

and=now

See how you translated the same expression in [1:2](../01/02.md). Alternate translation: [So here is what I want you to do:]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עָשִׂ֥יתִי עִמָּ⁠כֶ֖ם חָ֑סֶד וַ⁠עֲשִׂיתֶ֨ם גַּם־אַתֶּ֜ם עִם־בֵּ֤ית אָבִ⁠י֙ חֶ֔סֶד

dealt to,you_all kindly and,deal also/yet you_all with house_of father's_of,my kindly

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of kindness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [I am acting kindly toward you, swear to me that you yourselves will also act kindly toward the house of my father]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בֵּ֤ית אָבִ⁠י֙

house_of father's_of,my

Rahab is not using the expression the house of my father to refer to the building in which her father lives. As the next verse indicates, the expression means her extended family, which included her parents, her siblings, and their spouses and children. Alternate translation: [the household of my father] or [my extended family]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

א֥וֹת אֱמֶֽת

sign/signal/evidence sure

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea in another way. (This sign turns out to be the scarlet cord that the spies give Rahab in [2:18](../02/18.md).) Alternate translation: [a sign that you will truly do what you promise]
