DEUT 23:23 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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 Bible-translators and others 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 early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

The phrases What has gone out from your lips and a vow that you have spoken with your mouth mean similar things. Moses is using these expressions together to emphasize the binding nature of spoken vows. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express this with a single phrase at the beginning and leave the second phrase off. Alternate translation: [What you have solemnly promised]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מוֹצָ֥א שְׂפָתֶ֖י⁠ךָ

Moses is using What has gone out from your lips as a common expression of his culture to mean “what you have promised.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [What you have promised] or [The promise you have made]

The terms keep and do 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: [you shall absolutely fulfill]
