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.

17:15 the man the Lord your God chooses: Human monarchy was not contrary to God’s will for Israel (cp. 1 Sam 8:6-7)—God promised Abraham and Sarah that their descendants would include kings (Gen 17:6, 16; see also Gen 35:11). But the abuses of kingship were condemned. The theology that views the Messiah in a kingly role (2 Sam 7:11-15; Pss 2; 110; Isa 9:6-7) provides for both human and divine royalty.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
שׂ֣וֹם תָּשִׂ֤ים עָלֶ֨יךָ֙ מֶ֔לֶךְ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִבְחַ֛ר יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ בּ֑וֹ
to_appoint appoint over,you king which/who chooses YHWH God_of,your in/on/over=him/it
If it would be more natural in your language, you could change the phrasing of this sentence so that it is clear that the king must be someone that Yahweh will choose. Alternate translation: [setting, you shall set a king chosen by Yahweh your God over yourself]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
שׂ֣וֹם תָּשִׂ֤ים
to_appoint appoint
Moses is repeating forms of the verb set 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 shall surely set]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אַחֶ֗יךָ & אָחִ֖יךָ
brothers_of,your & your(ms)=brother/kindred
Here, brothers and brother refer to those who are descended from the same ancestor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your fellow Israelites … your fellow Israelite]
