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 / parallelism

General Information:

Moses speaks a poetic song to the people of Israel. Moses continues to use parallelism to emphasize what he is saying.

(Occurrence 0) acted corruptly against him

(Some words not found in UHB: acted_corruptly to=him/it not children,his defect,their generation perverse and,crooked )

Alternate translation: “opposed him by doing what is wrong.” See how you translated these words in Deuteronomy 4:16.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) a perverted and crooked generation

(Some words not found in UHB: acted_corruptly to=him/it not children,his defect,their generation perverse and,crooked )

The words “perverted” and “crooked” mean basically the same thing. Moses uses them to emphasize how wicked the generation is. Alternate translation: “a completely wicked generation”
