EXO 23:13 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.

OET (OET-RV) Take careful notice of everything that I’ve told you all. You all mustn’t invoke other gods—in fact don’t even mention their names.

Key: khaki:verbs, red:negative, blue:Elohim.
Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

תִּשָּׁמֵ֑רוּ

attentive

Alternate translation: [Do] or [Obey]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וְ⁠שֵׁ֨ם אֱלֹהִ֤ים אֲחֵרִים֙ לֹ֣א תַזְכִּ֔ירוּ לֹ֥א יִשָּׁמַ֖ע עַל־פִּֽי⁠ךָ

and=name_of ʼElohīm other not invoke not heard on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in lips_of,your

These two instructions mean almost the same thing. If saying the same thing twice might be confusing for your readers, you can combine the phrases into one. Alternate translation: [Be sure never to speak the names of other gods]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠שֵׁ֨ם אֱלֹהִ֤ים אֲחֵרִים֙ לֹ֣א תַזְכִּ֔ירוּ לֹ֥א יִשָּׁמַ֖ע עַל־פִּֽי⁠ךָ

and=name_of ʼElohīm other not invoke not heard on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in lips_of,your

These parallel phrases probably mean praying to other gods. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [Do not pray to other gods, never let me hear you do that]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לֹ֥א יִשָּׁמַ֖ע עַל־פִּֽי⁠ךָ

not heard on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in lips_of,your

To be on your mouth means to speak. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [nor speak them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֹ֥א יִשָּׁמַ֖ע עַל־פִּֽי⁠ךָ

not heard on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in lips_of,your

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Also see previous note. Alternate translation: [nor speak them so someone could hear them]
