ECC 6:6 Parallel Verse View

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.

Text critical issues=none Clarity of original=clear Importance to us=normal (All still tentative.)

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

(Occurrence 0) Even if a man should live for two thousand years

(Some words not found in UHB: and,if lives a_thousand years twice and,prosperity not enjoy ?,not to/towards place one(ms) the,all go )

This is a hypothetical situation. This is also an exaggeration to show that it does not matter how long a person lives if he does not enjoy the good things in life. (See also: figs-hyperbole)

Note 2 topic: translate-numbers

(Occurrence 0) two thousand years

(Some words not found in UHB: and,if lives a_thousand years twice and,prosperity not enjoy ?,not to/towards place one(ms) the,all go )

“2,000 years”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) he goes to the same place as everyone else

(Some words not found in UHB: and,if lives a_thousand years twice and,prosperity not enjoy ?,not to/towards place one(ms) the,all go )

This means that he dies like all other people. Alternate translation: “he dies and go to the same place as everyone else” or “he goes to the grave just like everyone else”
