Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

(Occurrence 0) Solomon made
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_made Shəlomoh all/each/any/every the=vessels the=these to=increase_in_number very that/for/because/then/when not determined weight the,bronze )
The readers should understand that Solomon probably commanded other people to do the actual work. Alternate translation: “Solomon’s workers made” or “Solomon had his workers make”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) the weight of the bronze could not be known
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_made Shəlomoh all/each/any/every the=vessels the=these to=increase_in_number very that/for/because/then/when not determined weight the,bronze )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. This could mean: (1) there was so much bronze no one tried to weigh it. Alternate translation: “no one even tried to weigh the bronze” or (2) this is a hyperbole that emphasizes the great amount of bronze. Alternate translation: “no one could even determine how much all the bronze weighed” (See also: figs-hyperbole)
