GEN 13:9 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 / rquestion

הֲ⁠לֹ֤א כָל הָ⁠אָ֨רֶץ֙ לְ⁠פָנֶ֔י⁠ךָ

?,not all the=earth/land to=your=face

Abram is using a rhetorical question to emphasize his point. He does not expect an answer from Lot. If that is not clear, you can translate this as a statement. Alternate translation: “You can choose to live anywhere in this entire land.”

Note 2 topic: writing-politeness

הִפָּ֥רֶד נָ֖א מֵ⁠עָלָ֑⁠י

separate now from,,me

Make sure it is clear in your translation of verse 9 that Abram is being kind to Lot, not mean or rude.

אִם הַ⁠שְּׂמֹ֣אל

if the,left

Alternate translation: “if you decide to live in the land to our left,”

וְ⁠אֵימִ֔נָה

and,go_to_the_right

Alternate translation: “then I will choose the land to the right,” or “then I will live in the land to our right,”

וְ⁠אִם הַ⁠יָּמִ֖ין

and=if the,right

For some languages, it may be more natural to begin a new sentence here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Or if you decide to live in the land to our right,”

וְ⁠אַשְׂמְאִֽילָה

and,go_to_the_left

Alternate translation: “then I will choose the land to the left.” or “then I will live in the land to our left.”
