EZRA 8:5 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 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠בְּנֵ֥י שְׁכַנְיָ֖ה בֶּן־יַחֲזִיאֵ֑ל

from=(the)_sons Shecaniah son_of Yahaʦ/(Jahaz)iel

Here, sons means “descendants,” but son most likely means a biological son. Alternate translation: “From the descendants of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel”

Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants

מִ⁠בְּנֵ֥י שְׁכַנְיָ֖ה בֶּן־יַחֲזִיאֵ֑ל

from=(the)_sons Shecaniah son_of Yahaʦ/(Jahaz)iel

Since this list has been providing the name of each clan leader, it would be unusual for it to omit the leader’s name here and state only the name of his father. Most scholars believe that the name of the clan leader was accidentally left out at one point in the copying process. Other ancient versions of the Old Testament read, “from the sons of Zattu, Shecaniah the son of Jahaziel.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could follow those versions and include the following footnote: “The name Zattu appears in the ancient Greek and other ancient versions.” Alternate translation: “From the descendants of Zattu, Shecaniah the son of Jahaziel” If you want to translate only what is in the Hebrew, you could follow the ULT or translate, “From the descendants of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

שְׁכַנְיָ֖ה & יַחֲזִיאֵ֑ל

Shecaniah & Yahaʦ/(Jahaz)iel

These are the names of two men.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠עִמּ֕⁠וֹ שְׁלֹ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת הַ⁠זְּכָרִֽים

and,with,him three hundreds the,males

See the note to 8:3 about this expression. Alternate translation: “along with 300 men from his clan”
