Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible.

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: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יֹּ֕אמֶר

and=he/it_said

Alternate translation: “Then he also said,” or “He also said,”

Note 2 topic: translate-key-terms

בָּר֥וּךְ יְהֹוָ֖ה

blessed YHWH

Although many English translations have “Blessed be” here instead of “Praised be,” the word used in the Hebrew text means “praise” when people are acting towards God (as here), and it means “bless” when God is acting towards people (as in Gen 1:28; 5:2; 9:1). Alternate translation: “I praise Yahweh,”

Alternate translation: “who is the God whom Shem worships”
