EZRA 7:16 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.

ClVg Et omne argentum et aurum quodcumque inveneris in universa provincia Babylonis, et populus offerre voluerit, et de sacerdotibus quæ sponte obtulerint domui Dei sui, quæ est in Jerusalem,[fn]
(And everything silver and gold whatever inveneris in/into/on universe province Babylonis, and the_people offerre voluerit, and from/about to_the_priests which sponte obtulerint home of_God self, which it_is in/into/on Yerusalem, )

7.16 Et omne argentum. De hac pecunia fideles in Ecclesia sua bona opera clarere cupiunt: ut per hoc patrem cum sanctis habeant: et alii ipsorum exemplis proficiant. Nam quasi de argento et auro nostro sacrificia, libamina, et hostiæ ad offerendum Domino comparantur: cum visa operum nostrorum claritate proximi convertuntur ad officium pietatis: quo et ipsi bene vivendo Domino consecrantur; sunt autem quædam sanctorum clarissimæ virtutes: quæ non omnibus in exempla operis possunt ostendi: sed tantum ad glorificandam Dei gratiam recitari, ut est illud quod Daniel et Jeremias pueri prophetaverunt: quod Joannes nondum natus: quod Cornelius cum domo sua nondum baptizatus Spiritum sanctum accepit, et innumera miracula instar argenti in domo Domini. Nec tantum ex hoc argento vel auro oblationes quæ super altare ponuntur, emi possunt, quia talia cum audimus, mirari quidem velut divina debemus: sed quasi possibilia imitari non valemus.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠כֹל֙ כְּסַ֣ף וּ⁠דְהַ֔ב דִּ֣י תְהַשְׁכַּ֔ח בְּ⁠כֹ֖ל מְדִינַ֣ת בָּבֶ֑ל

and=all/each/any/every silver and,gold that/who find in/on/at/with,whole_of province_of Bāⱱel

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could also divide this verse into two sentences. This phrase could be the first sentence. Here, find is an idiom that in this context means “can obtain.” Artaxerxes is giving Ezra permission to invite everyone in the province of Babylon to contribute. Alternate translation: [I also give you permission to ask everyone living in the province of Babylon to contribute silver and gold.]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠כֹל֙ כְּסַ֣ף וּ⁠דְהַ֔ב דִּ֣י תְהַשְׁכַּ֔ח בְּ⁠כֹ֖ל מְדִינַ֣ת בָּבֶ֑ל

and=all/each/any/every silver and,gold that/who find in/on/at/with,whole_of province_of Bāⱱel

The implication is that these would be contributions towards the expenses of the worship of Yahweh in the temple in Jerusalem, just like the gifts described in the rest of the verse. The further implication is that, just as the king and his counselors were sympathetic to the Jews in Jerusalem and eager to please the “God of heaven” ([7:23](../07/23.md)), others in the province might be eager to do so as well. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: [I also authorize you to ask everyone living in the province of Babylon to contribute silver and gold towards the expenses of the worship of Yahweh in the temple in Jerusalem]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠כֹ֖ל מְדִינַ֣ת בָּבֶ֑ל

in/on/at/with,whole_of province_of Bāⱱel

Artaxerxes is describing the people who live in the province of Babylon figuratively, by reference to something associated with them, the province where they live. Alternate translation: [among everyone living in the province of Babylon]

Note 4 topic: translate-names

בָּבֶ֑ל

Bāⱱel

Babylon (also called “Babylonia”) is the name of one of the provinces in the Persian Empire. See how you translated it in [1:11](../01/11.md). Review the note there if that would be helpful.

עִם֩ הִתְנַדָּב֨וּת עַמָּ֤⁠א וְ⁠כָֽהֲנַיָּ⁠א֙ מִֽתְנַדְּבִ֔ין לְ⁠בֵ֥ית אֱלָהֲ⁠הֹ֖ם דִּ֥י בִ⁠ירוּשְׁלֶֽם

with freewill_offerings_of people,the and,priests,the given_willingly for,house_of god_of,their that/who in/on/at/with,Jerusalem

If you have chosen to divide this verse into two sentences, this can be the second sentence. Here, the people means the people of Israel, as in [7:13](../07/13.md). Alternate translation: [I also authorize you to collect any offerings that the people of Israel and their priests want to give freely for the temple in Jerusalem.]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

דִּ֥י בִ⁠ירוּשְׁלֶֽם

that/who in/on/at/with,Jerusalem

Like Darius in [6:12](../06/12.md), here Artaxerxes repeats some background information in order to be very explicit about which temple his command applies to. Alternate translation: [in Jerusalem]
