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 / rquestion
וְעַתָּה֙ לָ֣מָּה נָמ֔וּת
and=now to/for=what die
The Israelite leaders are using the question form to express their fears that they would die if Yahweh spoke to them. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [And we do not want to die.]

כִּ֣י תֹֽאכְלֵ֔נוּ הָאֵ֥שׁ הַגְּדֹלָ֖ה הַזֹּ֑את אִם־יֹסְפִ֣ים ׀ אֲנַ֗חְנוּ לִ֠שְׁמֹעַ אֶת־ק֨וֹל יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֵ֛ינוּ ע֖וֹד וָמָֽתְנוּ
that/for/because/then/when consume,us the,fire the=big/large/great(fs) the,this if continue we to,hear DOM sound/voice YHWH God_of,our again/more and,die
The Israelite leaders are suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that they will only die if they continue to hear the voice of Yahweh. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: [If we continue anymore to hear the voice of Yahweh our God, then this great fire will consume us, then we will die]
