HEB 7:23 Parallel Verse View

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: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ οἱ μὲν & γεγονότες

and the_‹ones› on_one_hand & ˓having˒_become

The word And indicates that the author is adding a new point or topic to what he is discussing. The phrase on the one hand signals to the reader that this new point occurs in two contrasting parts. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use words or phrases that more clearly introduce a new point in two contrasting parts. Make sure that you express the second half of the contrast in [7:24](../07/24.md) so that it fits with what you do here. Alternate translation: [Now on the one hand, the ones having become] or [First, the ones having become]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

θανάτῳ κωλύεσθαι παραμένειν

˱by˲_death ˓to_be_being˒_forbidden ˓to_be˒_continuing_with

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. The author uses the passive form here to focus on those who are prevented rather than on what does the preventing. Alternate translation: [death prevents them from continuing]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

θανάτῳ

˱by˲_death

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of death, you could express the idea by using a verb such as “die.” Alternate translation: [by how they die]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

παραμένειν

˓to_be˒_continuing_with

The author implies that they are prevented from continuing to be priests. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [from continuing to be priests] or [from continuing to act as priests]
