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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

λέγων

saying

The author quotes from the Old Testament Scriptures. He does not introduce the words as a quotation but instead introduces them as something that Moses said to the people. However, he assumes that his audience would have understood that these were words from the Old Testament, specifically from [Exodus 24:8](../exo/24/08.md). If your readers would not know that the quotation is from the Old Testament, you could include that information in a footnote or use some other means to identify it more explicitly. Alternate translation: [saying, as the Scriptures record]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

τοῦτο

this

The word This refers to the blood that Moses “sprinkled” (See: [9:19](../09/19.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make explicit that the pronoun refers to the blood. Alternate translation: [This blood is] or [What I have sprinkled is]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ αἷμα τῆς διαθήκης

the blood ˱of˲_the covenant

The author uses the possessive form to describe how the blood inaugurates or confirms the covenant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea without using a possessive form. Alternate translation: [the blood that confirms the covenant] or [the blood that inaugurates the covenant]

ἐνετείλατο πρὸς ὑμᾶς

commanded toward you_all

Alternate translation: [commanded you to keep]
