JDG 5:10 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

רֹכְבֵי֩ אֲתֹנ֨וֹת צְחֹר֜וֹת יֹשְׁבֵ֧י עַל־מִדִּ֛ין וְ⁠הֹלְכֵ֥י עַל־דֶּ֖רֶךְ

ride donkeys white sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in saddle_blankets and,walk on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in road/way_of

See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter of the apparent change of setting in 5:10–11, from the original performance of the song at a victory celebration to its repeated recitation at places where travelers stopped along the road for water.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

רֹכְבֵי֩ אֲתֹנ֨וֹת צְחֹר֜וֹת יֹשְׁבֵ֧י עַל־מִדִּ֛ין וְ⁠הֹלְכֵ֥י עַל־דֶּ֖רֶךְ

ride donkeys white sit on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in saddle_blankets and,walk on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in road/way_of

The song is speaking of two kinds of people, rich and poor, in order to mean all kinds of people. (Wealthier people would have animals to ride and carpet to sit on as they traveled; poorer people would walk on foot.) If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “All of you who pass by this place”

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

מִדִּ֛ין

saddle_blankets

The word translated as carpet describes something that people would put on the back of a riding animal to make the rider more comfortable. If your readers would not be familiar with such an object, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “saddle blankets”
