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: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

The author quotes what God said to Abraham. These words are recorded in [Genesis 22:17](../gen/22/17.md). Since the author introduces this quotation as words that God said to Abraham, you should introduce the quotation as words that someone has said. If your readers would not know that the quotation is from the Old Testament, you could include a footnote or use some other form to identify the quotation. Alternate translation: [promising] or [telling him]

εἰ μὴν

if surely

God uses emphatic language to show that he will most certainly do what he is promising to do. Use a form in your language that emphasizes God’s promise to bless and multiply Abraham. Alternate translation: [surely] or [without doubt]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

(Occurrence -1) σε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγων εἰ μὴν εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσω σε καὶ πληθύνων πληθυνῶ σε)

Because God is speaking to one person (Abraham), you is singular here.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

πληθύνων, πληθυνῶ σε

multiplying ˱I˲_˓will_be˒_multiplying you

Here God speaks as if he would multiply Abraham to make many other “Abrahams.” This phrase refers to how God will cause Abraham to have many children, grandchildren, and so on. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to having many descendants. Alternate translation: [give you many offspring] or [make you the ancestor of many people]
