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 / ellipsis
וְשָׁמַעְתָּ֤ & וְשָׁמַרְתָּ֣ לַעֲשׂ֔וֹת
and,hear & and,careful for=doing
Moses is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [And you shall listen to them … and carefully do them]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal
אֲשֶׁר֙ & וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר
which/who & and=which
Here, each occurrence of that marks what comes after as the goal or purpose of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is the purpose.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
תִּרְבּ֖וּן מְאֹ֑ד
multiply, very
The implication is that the number of Israelites will multiply by births. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [your population will greatly increase]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֲבֹתֶ֨יךָ֙
fathers_of,your
See how you translated the phrase your fathers in [1:8](../01/08.md).
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
דִּבֶּ֨ר
he/it_had_said
The implication is that Yahweh will ensure that what he spoke* will happen. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [told you he would do]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֶ֛רֶץ זָבַ֥ת חָלָ֖ב וּדְבָֽשׁ
earth/land flowing_of milk and,honey
Here, a land flowing with milk and honey is an idiom that means “a very fertile land.” The word milk* means that much cattle can survive there and produce milk. The word honey means that crops grow well there, so bees can produce honey. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in a rich and fertile land] or [in a land good for cattle and crops]
