JDG 1:23 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 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.

See how you translated the expression the house of Joseph in the previous verse.

וְ⁠שֵׁם־הָ⁠עִ֥יר לְ⁠פָנִ֖ים לֽוּז

and=name_of the=city to/for,formerly Lūz

Here the author is providing background information to help readers understand what is happening in the story. The author probably wrote this because his readers knew this city as Bethel. But at the time when Israel attacked it, it was called Luz. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture. You may also wish to mark it in some way as background information, such as by putting it in parentheses as the ULT does. Alternate translation: “Bethel used to be called Luz”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

לֽוּז

Lūz

The word Luz is the name of a city.
