OET (OET-RV) Then the Philistines sent a champion out from their camp to represent them. His name was Goliat and he came from Gat, and he was almost three metres[fn] tall.

17:4 Some Greek sources have a height closer to two metres.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יֵּצֵ֤א אִֽישׁ־הַ⁠בֵּנַ֨יִם֙

and=he/it_went_out (a)_man the,spaces_between

The author is using a common expression of his culture. He is using the dual form betweens to mean the space that was between the Philistines and Israelites and also between the Israelites and the Philistines. (Compare the similar usage in [14:4](../14/04.md).) A man of the betweens was a warrior champion who would come into this space in order to fight in single combat against an enemy champion. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And a warrior champion]

Note 2 topic: translate-bdistance

שֵׁ֥שׁ אַמּ֖וֹת וָ⁠זָֽרֶת

six cubits and,span

These cubits were an ancient unit of measurement corresponding to the distance between an average person’s elbow and middle fingertip, or about 46 centimeters or 18 inches. A span, sometimes called a “hand’s breadth,” was an ancient unit of measurement corresponding to the distance between the tip of the thumb and the tip of the little finger of an average person’s spread hand, or about 23 centimeters or 9 inches. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express Goliath’s height in modern measurements, either in the text or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [was three meters] or [was nine feet and nine inches]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

17:4 champion: In ancient times, rival forces would sometimes agree to let selected individuals from each side decide a conflict. This reduced casualties and other costs. The same kind of combat is reflected in 2 Sam 2:12-17.
• Gath was one of five Philistine cities with a reputation for having giants as citizens (2 Sam 21:15-22).

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.
