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.

10:9 Nor . . . put Christ to the test: See Deut 6:16; Ps 78:18-20; Matt 4:7.
• Christ: Some manuscripts read the Lord, which probably represents a scribe’s attempt to harmonize with the Old Testament context.
Note 1 topic: translate-textvariants
τὸν Κύριον
the Lord
Many early manuscripts have the Lord here, but many other early manuscripts have “Christ.” Consider whether translations with which your readers might be familiar use “Christ” or the Lord. If there is no strong reason to choose one option over the other, you could follow the ULT.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τινες αὐτῶν ἐπείρασαν, καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν ὄφεων ἀπώλλυντο
some ˱of˲_them tested_‹him› and by ¬the serpents /were_being/_destroyed
Here Paul refers to a story found in Numbers 21:5–6. In this story, many Israelites “spoke against” or challenged their leaders and God himself. In response, God sent snakes that bit the Israelites, and many of the people died. If your readers are not familiar with this story, you could add a footnote that refers to or summarizes the story.
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
καὶ
and
Here, and introduces the result of the Israelites “putting” the Lord to the test. If your language does not use and to introduce a result, you can use a word or phrase that is more natural. Alternate translation: [and as a result] or [with the result that they]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὑπὸ τῶν ὄφεων ἀπώλλυντο
by ¬the serpents /were_being/_destroyed
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on those who are destroyed rather than focusing on who or what does the “destroying.” If you must state who did the action, Paul implies that “God” did it by using the snakes. Alternate translation: [God used snakes to destroy them]
