DEU 4:28 Parallel Verse View

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 / possession

מַעֲשֵׂ֖ה יְדֵ֣י אָדָ֑ם

work_of hands_of humankind

Here, Moses is using the possessive form to describe a work, as in an object, that is made by the hands of man. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use an equivalent expression to describe a man-made object. Alternate translation: [objects made by the hands of man]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

יְדֵ֣י אָדָ֑ם

hands_of humankind

Moses is using hands to represent all of a person in the act of making an idol. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [mere men]
