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.

6:1-25 Moses here explains how the stipulations in the following sections should be applied and handed on to future generations.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
כִּֽי־יִשְׁאָלְךָ֥ בִנְךָ֛ מָחָ֖ר לֵאמֹ֑ר מָ֣ה הָעֵדֹ֗ת וְהַֽחֻקִּים֙ וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֛ה יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ אֶתְכֶֽם
that/for/because/then/when asks,you son_of,your in_the_future to=say what the,decrees and,the,statutes and,the,ordinances which/who commanded YHWH God_of,our DOM,you_all
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [When your son asks you tomorrow about the testimonies and the statues and the ordinances that Yahweh our God commanded you]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
כִּֽי־יִשְׁאָלְךָ֥ בִנְךָ֛
that/for/because/then/when asks,you son_of,your
Moses is describing a hypothetical situation in order to tell the Israelites what they should do if it takes place. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: [This is what you will say if your son asks you]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
בִנְךָ֛
son_of,your
Although the term son is masculine, Moses is using the word in a generic sense that includes both sons and daughters. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [your child]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מָחָ֖ר
in_the_future
Here, tomorrow means “in the future.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [someday]
Note 5 topic: writing-quotations
לֵאמֹ֑ר
to=say
Here, the word saying introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this term explicitly.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
מָ֣ה הָעֵדֹ֗ת וְהַֽחֻקִּים֙ וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֛ה יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ אֶתְכֶֽם
what the,decrees and,the,statutes and,the,ordinances which/who commanded YHWH God_of,our DOM,you_all
The author is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If your readers might misunderstand this, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that Yahweh our God commanded you] or [What do the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances that Yahweh our God commanded you mean]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
אֶתְכֶֽם
DOM,you_all
The word you here is plural. The Israelite children are speaking about all the Israelites who heard the law, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
