Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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:

שָׂ֣א

forgive

Alternate translation: “take away”

אַ֣ךְ הַ⁠פַּ֔עַם & רַ֖ק

only the=time//this_time & only

Pharaoh could either be desperate and using just this once … only to attempt to make his request as small as possible to increase the chances of it being granted, or he could be still too proud to admit guilt beyond this single incident (which is probably his bold statement about Yahweh being with the Israelites in 10:10). The former seems more likely given that he terms this plague “this death.” If your culture has a way of making a request seem as small as possible, you may want to use it to translate Pharaoh’s request.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

אֱלֹהֵי⁠כֶ֑ם

God_of,your_all's

Here, your is plural. This could refer either to Moses and Aaron or to all the Israelites. If your language uses different forms of “you” depending on the number of people addressed, use a plural form here.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הַ⁠מָּ֥וֶת הַ⁠זֶּֽה

the,death the,this

The word death here refers to the destruction by the locusts of all plants in Egypt, which would eventually lead to the deaths of people, because there would be no crops. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. See the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠מָּ֥וֶת הַ⁠זֶּֽה

the,death the,this

The word death here refers to the destruction by the locusts of all plants in Egypt, which would eventually lead to the deaths of people because there would be no crops. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly. Alternate translation: “this destruction that will lead to our deaths”
