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 / parallelism

General Information:

Moses speaks a poetic song to the people of Israel.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword will devour flesh with the blood

(Some words not found in UHB: make_~_drunk arrows_of,my with,blood and,sword_of,my you(ms)_will_eat flesh/meat with,blood_of slain and,captives from,long-haired_of leaders_of enemy )

Yahweh speaks of arrows as if they were people to whom he could give alcohol and make them drunk, and of a sword as if it were a person who was so hungry that he would eat an animal before draining the blood out. These metaphors are metonyms for a soldier using arrows and a sword to kill many enemies. This in turn is a metaphor for Yahweh killing his enemies in war. (See also: figs-metonymy and figs-personification)

(Occurrence 0) from the heads of the leaders of the enemy

(Some words not found in UHB: make_~_drunk arrows_of,my with,blood and,sword_of,my you(ms)_will_eat flesh/meat with,blood_of slain and,captives from,long-haired_of leaders_of enemy )

A possible meaning is “from the long-haired heads of the enemy.”
