DEU 19:7 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—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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: writing-quotations

לֵ⁠אמֹ֑ר

to=say

Here, the word saying introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this term explicitly.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

מְצַוְּ⁠ךָ֖ לֵ⁠אמֹ֑ר שָׁלֹ֥שׁ עָרִ֖ים תַּבְדִּ֥יל לָֽ⁠ךְ

[am]_commanding_of,you to=say three cities set_apart to/for=you(fs)

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [command you to select three cities for yourself]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

שָׁלֹ֥שׁ עָרִ֖ים תַּבְדִּ֥יל לָֽ⁠ךְ

three cities set_apart to/for=you(fs)

The expression Select three cities for yourself 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: [Select three cities]
