DEU 4:42 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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

רֵעֵ֨⁠הוּ֙

Here, neighbor means “fellow Israelite.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his fellow Israelite]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בִּ⁠בְלִי־דַ֔עַת

in/on/at/with,without_of knowledge

Here, without knowing means “unintentionally.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: [unintentionally]

וְ⁠ה֛וּא לֹא־שֹׂנֵ֥א ל֖⁠וֹ מִ⁠תְּמ֣וֹל שִׁלְשׁ֑וֹם

and=he not hating to=him/it in,before previously

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִ⁠תְּמ֣וֹל שִׁלְשׁ֑וֹם

The implication is that the family members of the dead person would try to kill the manslayer, so the people of those cities would protect the manslayer.
