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 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: grammar-connect-logic-result
כִּ֣י
that/for/because/then/when
The word for indicates that the sentence it introduces explains the reason why the action described in the previous sentence was possible. Alternate translation: “They were able to do this because”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
הִֽטַּהֲר֞וּ הַכֹּהֲנִ֧ים וְהַלְוִיִּ֛ם כְּאֶחָ֖ד כֻּלָּ֣ם טְהוֹרִ֑ים
purified the,priests and,the,Levites as,one all,them clean
As in 3:9, as one is an idiom that means that these priests and Levites all behaved as if they were a single person, that is, they all did the same thing. Alternate translation: “Every single one of the priests and Levites had purified himself”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
הִֽטַּהֲר֞וּ & כְּאֶחָ֖ד כֻּלָּ֣ם טְהוֹרִ֑ים
purified & as,one all,them clean
These two phrases mean the same thing. The book uses the repetition for emphasis and clarity. You do not need to repeat both phrases in your translation if that might be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: “every single one had purified himself”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
הִֽטַּהֲר֞וּ
purified
Being pure represents being acceptable to God. Alternate translation: “performed a ceremony to show that they wanted to be acceptable to God”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיִּשְׁחֲט֤וּ הַפֶּ֨סַח֙
and,slaughtered the,passover_lamb
The book assumes that readers will know that the Passover celebration included a special meal of lamb. Following God's instructions, the Israelites had slaughtered lambs to eat on the night before they left Egypt, and they had put the blood of the lambs on their doorframes so that God would pass over their houses and everyone inside would be safe. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: “And they slaughtered lambs for the special Passover meal”
Note 6 topic: translate-names
הַפֶּ֨סַח֙
the,passover_lamb
See how you translated the name of this festival in 6:19.
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בְּנֵ֣י הַגּוֹלָ֔ה
sons_of the,exile
See how you translated this expression in 6:16. Alternate translation: “the Jews who had returned to their homeland”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְלַאֲחֵיהֶ֥ם הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים
and,for,brothers,their the,priests
Here, brothers is a figurative way of saying fellow priests, although it is possible that this group included some of the biological brothers of the priests who slaughtered the lambs. Alternate translation: “and for their fellow priests”
