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.

וְ⁠אָמַרְתָּ֣ לְ⁠בִנְ⁠ךָ֔ עֲבָדִ֛ים הָיִ֥ינוּ לְ⁠פַרְעֹ֖ה בְּ⁠מִצְרָ֑יִם וַ⁠יּוֹצִיאֵ֧⁠נוּ יְהוָ֛ה מִ⁠מִּצְרַ֖יִם בְּ⁠יָ֥ד חֲזָקָֽה

and,say to,son,your slaves were of,Pharaoh in/on/at/with,Egypt and,brought_~_out,us YHWH from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt) in/on/at/with,hand mighty

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “And you shall say to your son that you were slaves of Pharoah in Egypt, and that Yahweh brought you out from Egypt with a mighty hand”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

לְ⁠בִנְ⁠ךָ֔

to,son,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: “to your child”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וַ⁠יּוֹצִיאֵ֧⁠נוּ יְהוָ֛ה

and,brought_~_out,us YHWH

In a context such as this, your language might say “took” instead of brought. Alternate translation: “And Yahweh took us out”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠יָ֥ד חֲזָקָֽה

in/on/at/with,hand mighty

Here the word hand represents God’s power. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. See how you translated this in 4:34. Alternate translation: “with mighty strength”
