Dictionary: Moses
OET-LV And_they_said only only by_Mosheh YHWH has_he_spoken not also by_us has_he_spoken and_ YHWH _he/it_listened.
OET (OET-RV) and they challenged, “Did Yahweh really only speak through Mosheh? Doesn’t he also speak through us?” Yahweh heard what they said.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
הֲרַ֤ק אַךְ־בְּמֹשֶׁה֙ דִּבֶּ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה הֲלֹ֖א גַּם־בָּ֣נוּ דִבֵּ֑ר
?,only indeed by,Moses he/it_had_said YHWH ?,not also/yet by,us spoken
Aaron and Miriam are using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate these questions as statements or as exclamations. Alternate translation: [Yahweh did not only speak in Moses. He also spoke in us!]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בְּמֹשֶׁה֙ & בָּ֣נוּ
by,Moses & by,us
The phrases in Moses and in us are common expressions of this culture that mean “by means of Moses” and “by means of us.” If these phrases do not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [by means of Moses … by means of us]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
בָּ֣נוּ
by,us
By in us, Miriam and Aaron mean themselves but not Moses to whom they are referring, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
OET-LV And_they_said only only by_Mosheh YHWH has_he_spoken not also by_us has_he_spoken and_ YHWH _he/it_listened.
OET (OET-RV) and they challenged, “Did Yahweh really only speak through Mosheh? Doesn’t he also speak through us?” Yahweh heard what they said.
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.
