Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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

כִּ֣י מִ֣י כָל־בָּשָׂ֡ר אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׁמַ֣ע קוֹל֩ אֱלֹהִ֨ים חַיִּ֜ים מְדַבֵּ֧ר מִ⁠תּוֹךְ־הָ⁠אֵ֛שׁ כָּמֹ֖⁠נוּ וַ⁠יֶּֽחִי

that/for/because/then/when who? all flesh/meat which/who heard sound/voice ʼElohīm life(pl) speaking from,midst the,fire as,we and,lived

The Israelite leaders are using the question form to explain why they are very afraid. 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: “No flesh has heard the voice of the living God speak from the midst of the fire like us and has lived.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

that/for/because/then/when who? all flesh/meat which/who heard sound/voice ʼElohīm life(pl) speaking from,midst the,fire as,we and,lived

The Israelite leaders mean that, while they have heard God speak and have lived, it is a rare occurrence, one which they do not believe will happen again. This verse does not contradict verse 24. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers, as modeled by the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בָּשָׂ֡ר

flesh/meat

The Israelite leaders are using flesh to represent humans. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “humankind”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

קוֹל֩

sound/voice

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 the words of”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֱלֹהִ֨ים חַיִּ֜ים

ʼElohīm life(pl)

The implication is that only Yahweh is a living God and can cause people to die, in contrast with idols who are not living and cannot cause real harm to people. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the only living God”
