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.

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַתֹּאמְר֗וּ
and,said
Here, the word said introduces direct speech. Consider natural ways of doing that in your own language.
Note 2 topic: translate-names
הֵ֣ן
if
The Israelite leaders are using the term behold to focus Moses’ attention on what they are about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: “Pay attention to what we have to say:”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
קֹל֥וֹ
voice,his
Here, voice represents the sound of someone speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the sound of Yahweh speaking”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
הָֽאָדָ֖ם
the=humankind
Although the term man is masculine, the Israelite leaders are using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “humankind”
