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 speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so the words “you” and “your” here are singular.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us and make us to hear it, so that we may do it?

(Some words not found in UHB: and=not on,beyond of_the,sea who/which to=say who? cross to/for=us to/towards ever the=sea and,get,it to/for=ourselves and,hear,us DOM=her/it and,observe,it )

This rhetorical question continues the idea that the people of Israel think Yahweh’s commands are too difficult to know. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: [Someone must travel across the sea to learn God’s commands and then return and tell us what they are.]
