EST 5:7 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 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠תַּ֥עַן & וַ⁠תֹּאמַ֑ר

and,answered & and=she/it_said

Here a single idea is being expressed by using two words connected with “and.” Together the two words mean that Esther responded to the question that the king asked her. Alternate translation: “answered” or “replied”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

שְׁאֵלָתִ֖⁠י וּ⁠בַקָּשָׁתִֽ⁠י

petition,my and,request,my

The words petition and request mean the same thing. Esther probably used these words together as a way of speaking very formally and respectfully to the king. Alternate translation: “this is what I want”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

שְׁאֵלָתִ֖⁠י וּ⁠בַקָּשָׁתִֽ⁠י

petition,my and,request,my

The two abstract nouns petition and request can be expressed with a single phrase using the verb “want.” Alternate translation: “this is what I want”
