JDG 21:3 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: figures-of-speech / rquestion

לָ⁠מָ֗ה יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל הָ֥יְתָה זֹּ֖את בְּ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל לְ⁠הִפָּקֵ֥ד הַ⁠יּ֛וֹם מִ⁠יִּשְׂרָאֵ֖ל שֵׁ֥בֶט אֶחָֽד

to/for,why? YHWH god_of Yisrael she/it_was this in/on/at/with,Israel that,missing the=day from,Israel tribe one(ms)

The Israelites are using the question form for emphasis. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Yahweh, God of Israel, this should not be in Israel, to be missing today one tribe from Israel!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לְ⁠הִפָּקֵ֥ד

that,missing

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [that we should have lost]
