Parallel DEU 29:0

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 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.

Translation Issues in This Chapter

- verse one may connect to chapter 28 more than chapter 29- the concept of “nose” for anger occurs frequently- the verb “cut” is used in relation to a covenant to mean “make a covenant”- there are several references to curses written in the book which require care because the phrase is passive and readers may have trouble identifying who wrote them, when they were written and what book Moses is referring to

Use of “you”

Throughout this chapter “you” is a mix of singular and plural. The majority are plural. All are singular in verses 3 and 12–13. Verses 5 and 11 are a mix, see notes there.
