DAN 3:15 Parallel Verse View

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 as a tool 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.

OET (OET-RV) Now if you’re ready, as soon as you hear the musical instruments of music, if you all bow down and worship the statue I erected, everything will be okay. But if you don’t, you’ll immediately be thrown into a blazing hot furnace. Then what god could rescue you from my punishment?”

3:15 OSHB variant note: קיתרס: (x-qere) ’קַתְר֣וֹס’: lemma_7030 morph_ANcmsa id_27UhH קַתְר֣וֹס

3:15 OSHB note: Yathir readings in L which we have designated as Qeres when both Dothan and BHS list a Qere.

3:15 OSHB note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.

Key: khaki:verbs.
Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).
