GEN 13:17 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ק֚וּם הִתְהַלֵּ֣ךְ

arise walk

The phrase Get up may imply that Abram was sitting down, but it probably just means that God is telling him to start walking through the land. Alternate translation: [Now go walk]

בָּ⁠אָ֔רֶץ

on_the=earth

Alternate translation: [all over the land]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

לְ⁠אָרְכָּ֖⁠הּ וּ⁠לְ⁠רָחְבָּ֑⁠הּ

through,length_of,its and,through,breadth_of,its

Speaker is referring to all of the land by naming two extremes, walking through its length and through its width. Consider what is the best way to translate this in your language. Also consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [from end to end and side to side] or [Walk throughout the entire land, looking it over]

כִּ֥י לְ⁠ךָ֖ אֶתְּנֶֽ⁠נָּה

that/for/because/then/when to/for=yourself(m) give,it

In the Hebrew text, the phrase to you is before the verb to emphasize that God is giving it to Abram. In your translation, communicate this emphasis in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [because you are the one I am giving it to] or [for it is to you that I am giving it]
