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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you

General Information:

Moses continues describing God’s curses if the people disobey him. He speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so the words “you” and “your” here are singular.

(Occurrence 0) but you will not rub any of the oil on yourself

(Some words not found in UHB: olive_trees there_~_be to/for=yourself(m) in=all territory_of,your and,oil not anoint that/for/because/then/when drop_off olives_of,your )

People would rub olive oil on themselves to make their skin healthy.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) your olive trees will drop their fruit

(Some words not found in UHB: olive_trees there_~_be to/for=yourself(m) in=all territory_of,your and,oil not anoint that/for/because/then/when drop_off olives_of,your )

You may need to make explicit that the fruit drops before it is ripe. Alternate translation: [your olive trees will drop their fruit before the fruit is ripe] or [the olives will fall off your olive trees before they are ripe]
