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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וְ⁠אַתֶּ֗ם לֹֽא־תִכְרְת֤וּ בְרִית֙ לְ⁠יֽוֹשְׁבֵי֙ הָ⁠אָ֣רֶץ הַ⁠זֹּ֔את מִזְבְּחוֹתֵי⁠הֶ֖ם תִּתֹּצ֑וּ⁠ן

and,you_all not make covenant with,inhabitants the=earth/land the,this altars,their tear_down,

If you decided in the previous verse to translate this quotation in such a way that there would not be a quotation within a quotation, you can continue doing that here. Alternate translation: “But I also said that you were not to cut a covenant with the dwellers of this land. You were to demolish their altars”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠לֹֽא־שְׁמַעְתֶּ֥ם בְּ⁠קֹלִ֖⁠י

and=not obeyed in/on/at/with,voice,me

As the General Introduction to Judges discusses, here the word heard has the specific sense of “obeyed.” Alternate translation: “But you have not obeyed my voice”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠לֹֽא־שְׁמַעְתֶּ֥ם בְּ⁠קֹלִ֖⁠י

and=not obeyed in/on/at/with,voice,me

The angel, speaking on behalf of Yahweh, is using the word voice by association to mean what he said by using his voice. Alternate translation: “But you have disobeyed what I commanded”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מַה־זֹּ֥את עֲשִׂיתֶֽם

what? this done

The angel is 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: “You should not have done this!”
