GEN 43:6 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

וַ⁠יֹּ֨אמֶר֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל

and=he/it_said Yisrael

If it is not clear that Israel (verse 6) and “their father” (verse 2) refer to the same person, you could include “their father” here in your translation or in a footnote. See what you did for a similar case in Gen 42:5.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לָ⁠מָ֥ה הֲרֵעֹתֶ֖ם לִ֑⁠י לְ⁠הַגִּ֣יד

to/for,why? treat_~_badly to=me to=announce

Jacob uses a rhetorical question here to scold his sons and to show how upset he is. Consider what is the best way to communicate that in your language. Alternate translation: [Why did you cause distress for me by telling] or [You caused me a lot of distress because you told]

לָ⁠אִ֔ישׁ

to_the,man

See how you translated the man in verses 3 and 5. Alternate translation: [that man] or [that governor]

הַ⁠ע֥וֹד לָ⁠כֶ֖ם אָֽח

?,another to/for=you_all brother

If you translate this rhetorical question as a statement, make sure that you end it with a period or exclamation point. Alternate translation: [that you have another brother!]
