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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יָקִ֥ים

raise_up

Moses is speaking as if Yahweh would literally raise up a prophet, that is, as if Yahweh had lifted the prophet up to a high place. Here it means that he will appoint a prophet for them. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [will appoint]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

מִ⁠קִּרְבְּ⁠ךָ֤ מֵ⁠אַחֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙

from,among_of,you from,brothers_of,your

The terms you and your brothers mean similar things. Moses is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [from among you Israelites]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מֵ⁠אַחֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙

from,brothers_of,your

Here, brothers means “fellow Israelites.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from your fellow Israelites]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כָּמֹ֔⁠נִי

like,me

This could mean that the prophet will be like Moses because: (1) Yahweh will send the prophet like he sent Moses. Alternate translation: [like Yahweh sent me] (2) the prophet will be similar to Moses. Alternate translation: [who is like me]
