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.

וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לָהֶם֙ יוֹסֵ֔ף
and=he/it_said to/for=them Yōşēf/(Joseph)
Make sure the way you translate this quote margin fits with the way you translate the following rhetorical question. Alternate translation: “Then Joseph told them,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
מָֽה הַמַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה הַזֶּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר עֲשִׂיתֶ֑ם
what the,deed the=this which/who done
Joseph uses rhetorical questions in this verse to express anger and scold his brothers. Some languages must use strong statements or exclamations here instead. Do what is best in your language. See what you did for a similar case in Gen 20:9. Alternate translation: “Why did you do such a terrible thing?” or “You should never have done such a thing!”

Alternate translation: “that a ruler like me”

to_divine he_divines
See how you translated divines in verse 5. Alternate translation: “regularly practices divination!” or “could use divination to find out what you did!”
