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 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 / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) I have placed before you

(Some words not found in UHB: see I_give to=your=face the=day DOM the=life and=DOM the,prosperity and=DOM the,death and=DOM the,adversity )

Putting something where another person can see it is a metaphor for telling someone about something. Alternate translation: “I have told you about”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) life and good, death and evil

(Some words not found in UHB: see I_give to=your=face the=day DOM the=life and=DOM the,prosperity and=DOM the,death and=DOM the,adversity )

You can make clear the implicit information. Alternate translation: “what is good and will cause you to live, and what is evil and will cause you to die”
