OET interlinear MARK 2:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

εἰσῆλθεν

˱he˲_came_in

In a context such as this, your language might say “came” instead of went. Alternate translation: [he came]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν οἶκον τοῦ Θεοῦ

the house ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here Jesus uses the phrase the house of God to refer to the tabernacle, the place where God’s presence was. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [the tabernacle] or [the sanctuary]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοὺς ἄρτους τῆς Προθέσεως

the bread ˱of˲_the Presence

The phrase the loaves of the presence refers to loaves of bread that were placed every day on a table in the tabernacle or temple as an offering to God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [the loaves that were presented to God] or [the loaves of bread that were placed in God’s presence every morning]

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

οὓς οὐκ ἔξεστιν φαγεῖν, εἰ μὴ τοὺς ἱερεῖς

which not ˱it˲_/is/_permitting /to/_eat except ¬not/lest the priests

If, in your language, it would appear that Jesus was making a statement here and then contradicting it, you could reword this to avoid using an exception clause. Alternate translation: [which is lawful for only the priests to eat]
