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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיָּ֣פָג לִבּ֔וֹ
and,went_numb his/its=heart
This idiom means that Jacob was so shocked that he did not know which way to go with his emotions or what to think, say, or do; it does not mean that he died. Some languages have a similar idiom. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “When Jacob heard that, he was completely shocked,”
כִּ֥י לֹא הֶאֱמִ֖ין לָהֶֽם
that/for/because/then/when not believe to/for=them
Alternate translation: “because he thought it could not be true.”
