GEN 39:10 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:

וַ⁠יְהִ֕י כְּ⁠דַבְּרָ֥⁠הּ אֶל־יוֹסֵ֖ף י֣וֹם ׀ י֑וֹם

and=he/it_was as,spoke,she to/towards Yōşēf/(Joseph) day day

The phrase “Then/And it happened” is used several times in this chapter (verses 5, 7, 10, 11, 13, 15, 18, 19) to introduce and emphasize important events and to increase suspense so that the audience wonders what the outcome will be. Many English translations have omitted this phrase, possibly for reasons of naturalness. Consider whether you have an expression like this that is natural in your language.

וְ⁠לֹא־שָׁמַ֥ע אֵלֶ֛י⁠הָ לִ⁠שְׁכַּ֥ב אֶצְלָ֖⁠הּ

and=not listen to=her/it to,lie beside,her

Alternate translation: [he did not do what she wanted, but refused to lie with her] or [he refused her demands]

לִ⁠הְי֥וֹת עִמָּֽ⁠הּ

to=be with=her/it

Alternate translation: [and he stayed away from her] or [and would not even go near her]
