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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וְ⁠שָׂרַפְתָּ֨ בָ⁠אֵ֜שׁ אֶת־הָ⁠עִ֤יר

(Some words not found in UHB: to_kill you_must_kill DOM inhabitants_of the=city the,that with,edge_of sword utterly_destroying DOM=her/it and=DOM all/each/any/every which/who in/on/at/with,it and=DOM livestock_of,its with,edge_of sword )

The expression burn the city in fire contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: [and burn the city]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וְ⁠שָׂרַפְתָּ֨ בָ⁠אֵ֜שׁ אֶת־הָ⁠עִ֤יר וְ⁠אֶת־כָּל־שְׁלָלָ⁠הּ֙ כָּלִ֔יל

If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the order of these clauses so that the objects of the verb burn are clear. Alternate translation: [and completely burn the city and all its spoil in fire]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לַ⁠יהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶ֑י⁠ךָ

The implication is that burning the spoil would be like burning an offering for Yahweh. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [as an offering for Yahweh your God]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

תֵּ֣ל

The implication is that the city will become a heap of ruins. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [a heap of ruins]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֹ֥א תִבָּנֶ֖ה עֽוֹד

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. Alternate translation: [no one should ever build that city again]
