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
וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ כָל־הָעֵצִ֖ים אֶל־הָאָטָ֑ד לֵ֥ךְ אַתָּ֖ה מְלָךְ־עָלֵֽינוּ
and=they_said all the,trees to/towards the,bramble come you(ms) reign over,us
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [So all of the trees asked the thornbush to come and reign over them]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
כָל־הָעֵצִ֖ים
all the,trees
With the word all, Jotham is implicitly including the trees that had refused to become king. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [all of the trees, including the ones that could have become king themselves]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
לֵ֥ךְ אַתָּ֖ה מְלָךְ־עָלֵֽינוּ
come you(ms) reign over,us
See how you translated the same expression in 9:10. Alternate translation: [Then you be the one to reign over us]
