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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces support for the author’s claim that the sacrifices give a “reminder of sins every year” (10:3). His point here is that the sacrifices cannot take away sins, so all they can do is function as a “reminder” of the sins that they do not take away. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces support for a claim. Alternate translation: [That is because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων ἀφαιρεῖν ἁμαρτίας

˱for˲_/the/_blood ˱of˲_bulls and ˱of˲_goats /to_be/_taking_away sins

Here, the phrase blood of bulls and goats may refer specifically to the offerings performed on the Day of Atonement (See: Leviticus 16). However, the author is also referring in general to blood from any sacrifice. You should express the idea in general terms, as the author does. Alternate translation: [blood from animal sacrifices to take away sins]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

αἷμα ταύρων καὶ τράγων ἀφαιρεῖν ἁμαρτίας

˱for˲_/the/_blood ˱of˲_bulls and ˱of˲_goats /to_be/_taking_away sins

Here, the word blood refers to offering the blood, and the word sins refers to the consequences of sin that people experience, including guilt, impurity, and alienation from God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the ideas with short phrases. Alternate translation: [the offering of the blood of bulls and goats to take away the consequences of sins]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ταύρων καὶ τράγων

˱of˲_bulls and ˱of˲_goats

Here the author refers to bulls and goats as two examples of animals that were sacrificed so that the high priest could enter the sanctuary with their blood. These were not the only animals that could be sacrificed, and the author is not trying to be exhaustive. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form in your language that refers generally to animals that are sacrificed. Alternate translation: [of sacrificed animals] or [of animals from flock or herd]
