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 / doublet
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙ & וַיֹּ֖אמֶר
and=he/it_said & and=he/it_said
These two words mean the same thing. Alternate translation: [responded]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
מִ֣י ה֥וּא זֶה֙ וְאֵֽי־זֶ֣ה ה֔וּא
who? he/it this and,where this he/it
These two phrases mean similar things. They both ask about the identity of the man who is trying to destroy the Jews. King Ahasuerus uses the repetition to emphasize how outraged he is. If the repetition would be confusing in your language, you could combine the two phrases. However, from another perspective, both the man’s identity and his location are important to know so that his plot can be stopped. So, for that reason, you could also decide to include both phrases in your translation.
מִ֣י ה֥וּא זֶה֙ וְאֵֽי־זֶ֣ה ה֔וּא
who? he/it this and,where this he/it
Alternate translation: [who has done this]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְאֵֽי־זֶ֣ה ה֔וּא אֲשֶׁר־מְלָא֥וֹ לִבּ֖וֹ לַעֲשׂ֥וֹת כֵּֽן
and,where this he/it which/who he_filled,himself his/its=heart for=doing yes/correct/thus/so
Here the concept of a full heart uses two metaphors at once. “Heart” represents the action of thinking or feeling. Also, saying that the “heart” is “full” is a figurative way of saying that someone is fully intending to do something, usually something that should not be done. Alternate translation: [where is the man who is intending to do such a thing]
