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 / metonymy

הָ⁠רַ֖ע בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

the,evil in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH

See how you translated the same expression in [2:11](../02/11.md) and [3:7](../03/07.md). Alternate translation: [what was evil in Yahweh’s judgment]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠יְחַזֵּ֨ק יְהוָ֜ה אֶת־עֶגְל֤וֹן מֶֽלֶךְ־מוֹאָב֙ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל עַ֛ל כִּֽי־עָשׂ֥וּ אֶת־הָ⁠רַ֖ע בְּ⁠עֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

and,strengthened YHWH DOM ˊEglōn king Mōʼāⱱ on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in that/for/because/then/when they_had_acquired DOM the,evil in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH

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: [So because the Israelites did evil in his eyes, Yahweh strengthened Eglon, the king of Moab, against them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וַ⁠יְחַזֵּ֨ק יְהוָ֜ה אֶת־עֶגְל֤וֹן מֶֽלֶךְ־מוֹאָב֙ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל

and,strengthened YHWH DOM ˊEglōn king Mōʼāⱱ on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Yisrael

The author is speaking of Eglon to mean that king and his army. Alternate translation: [So Yahweh enabled Eglon to build a strong army to attack Israel]
