OET (OET-LV) And_I_said what is_it and_he/it_said this is_the_ʼēyfāh which_is_going_forth and_he/it_said this eye_of_is_their in_all the_earth/land.
OET (OET-RV) “What is it?” I asked.
¶ And he said, “That’s the measuring bin that’s coming.” Then he continued, “That’s their eye[fn] across the whole land.”
5:6 Some ancient translations have ‘iniquity’ here, but we’ve stayed with the Hebrew.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
עֵינָ֖ם
eye_of,[is]_their
The pronoun their refers to the people of the land. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the people’s eye]
Note 2 topic: translate-alternativereadings
עֵינָ֖ם
eye_of,[is]_their
The phrase their eye is a translation of the written text in the original language. Some ancient translations, however, read “their iniquity” instead. You may want to follow this alternative reading in your translation. Alternate translation: [their iniquity]
Note 3 topic: translate-bvolume
הָֽאֵיפָה֙
[is]_the,ephah
An ephah was a unit of dry volume equivalent to about 22 liters or nearly two thirds of a bushel. Here it refers to a large measuring container. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this in terms of modern measurements, either in the text or in a footnote.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
עֵינָ֖ם בְּכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ
eye_of,[is]_their in=all the=earth/land
Here, their eye could mean: (1) their appearance, meaning the ephah represents what the people are doing throughout the land. Alternate translation: [what they are doing throughout all the earth] (2) their iniquity, since the words for “eye” and “iniquity” are similar in the original language. Alternate translation: [how they are sinning throughout all the earth]
OET (OET-LV) And_I_said what is_it and_he/it_said this is_the_ʼēyfāh which_is_going_forth and_he/it_said this eye_of_is_their in_all the_earth/land.
OET (OET-RV) “What is it?” I asked.
¶ And he said, “That’s the measuring bin that’s coming.” Then he continued, “That’s their eye[fn] across the whole land.”
5:6 Some ancient translations have ‘iniquity’ here, but we’ve stayed with the Hebrew.
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.
