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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

6:11-32 Gideon encountered the angel of the Lord and emerged as a hero. He overthrew the syncretistic Baal cult of his family and town and called his people to fight in the Lord’s name.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

כִּ֥י אֶהְיֶ֖ה עִמָּ֑⁠ךְ

that/for/because/then/when be with,you

Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Yahweh is implicitly answering Gideon’s question in the previous verse. Alternate translation: [You will be able to save Israel because I will be with you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֶת־מִדְיָ֖ן כְּ⁠אִ֥ישׁ אֶחָֽד

DOM Midyān as,man one(ms)

This is a common expression that refers to an entire group gathered together, as the similar uses in [20:1](../20/01.md), [20:8](../20/08.md), [20:11](../20/11.md), and [Nehemiah 8:1](../neh/08/01.md) show. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the entire army of Midian at once]
