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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

33:12-23 Moses begged for God to go with him and the people to the Promised Land. In these verses the word personally (33:14-15) usually reflects a Hebrew term literally rendered face. Moses wanted to continue experiencing the “face to face” relationship he had begun to have (33:11). He also wanted the people to have that experience in some sense.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֕אמֶר

and=he/it_said

In some languages it may be better to omit And he said at the start of this verse to avoid stopping and restarting the quotation. Yahweh is speaking from 33:19–34:3.

כִּ֛י לֹֽא־יִרְאַ֥⁠נִי הָ⁠אָדָ֖ם וָ⁠חָֽי

that/for/because/then/when not see,me the=humankind and,live

Alternate translation: [because no person can live after he has seen me]
