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.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

הַגִּֽידָ⁠ה־נָּ֣א לִ֔⁠י

tell, please to=me

Alternate translation: [Do you know]

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

אֵיפֹ֖ה הֵ֥ם רֹעִֽים

where they pasturing

For some languages it is more natural to put this clause earlier in the verse and say, “I am looking for my brothers who were somewhere around here shepherding/pasturing/tending their flocks. Do you know where they are now?” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: [where they are pasturing their flocks?]
