DEU 15:8 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 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: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

כִּֽי

that/for/because/then/when

Moses uses the word but here to indicate a strong contrast between what an Israelite should and should not do to a poor fellow Israelite. In your translation, indicate this strong contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “for”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

פָתֹ֧חַ תִּפְתַּ֛ח

to_open open

Moses is repeating the verb open in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “you must surely open”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

תִּפְתַּ֛ח אֶת־יָדְ⁠ךָ֖

open DOM hand,your

Here, open your hand is an idiom that means “give generously.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you must give freely”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

מַחְסֹר֔⁠וֹ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֶחְסַ֖ר לֽ⁠וֹ

need,his which/who needs to=him/it

The expression his need that he has need 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: “for whatever he needs”
