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.

וַיִּלְחֲצ֧וּ הָאֱמֹרִ֛י אֶת־בְּנֵי־דָ֖ן הָהָ֑רָה כִּי־לֹ֥א נְתָנ֖וֹ לָרֶ֥דֶת לָעֵֽמֶק
and,pressed the=Emori DOM sons_of Dān the,hill_country,into that/for/because/then/when not allow,them to,come_down to_the,plain
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “And the Amorites did not allow the sons of Dan to go down into the valley, so they were pressed into the hill country”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֶת־בְּנֵי־דָ֖ן
DOM sons_of Dān
See how you translated the expression “the sons of Judah” in 1:16. Alternate translation: “the people of Dan”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
לֹ֥א נְתָנ֖וֹ
not allow,them
The pronoun he refers to the Amorite, and the pronoun him refers to the sons of Dan (as if they were a single individual, their ancestor Dan). It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “the Amorites did not allow the people of Dan”
