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.

RP-GNT No RP-GNT EXO book available
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.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
וַהֲסִרֹתִי֙ אֶת־כַּפִּ֔י וְרָאִ֖יתָ אֶת־אֲחֹרָ֑י וּפָנַ֖י לֹ֥א יֵרָאֽוּ
and,remove DOM hand_of,my and,see DOM back_of,my and,face_of,my not seen
The strong personification image of Yahweh continues throughout this verse and should be retained, if possible. You may have to use similes if this would be misunderstood in your culture. Alternate translation: [Then it will be as if I stop covering you with a hand, and you will see a small part of my glory, like a person’s back, but not my full glory, like a person’s face.]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
וּפָנַ֖י
and,face_of,my
Here, but my face is moved to the front of the clause to emphasize contrast with my back. If your language has a certain way of contrasting elements, be sure to make a strong contrast between Yahweh’s face and back.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וּפָנַ֖י לֹ֥א יֵרָאֽוּ
and,face_of,my not seen
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. Alternate translation: [but you will not see my face]
