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 / synecdoche
וַיִּרְדְּפֵ֣הוּ אֲבִימֶ֔לֶךְ
and,chased,him ʼAⱱīmelek
The author is using the last thing that happened in this battle to mean everything that happened in the battle. Abimelek and his army defeated Gaal and his men, so they retreated, and Abimelek pursued them. Alternate translation: “And Abimelek routed him” or “And Abimelek defeated him so that he gave up and retreated”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
חֲלָלִ֥ים
wounded
The author is using the adjective wounded as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: “wounded soldiers”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וַֽיִּפְּל֛וּ
and=they_fell
The author is using the word fell to mean “died,” by association with the way that people fall down when they die. Alternate translation: “And … died”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עַד־פֶּ֥תַח הַשָּֽׁעַר
until entrance the,gate
The implication is that Gaal’s men would have been safe if they had been able to go through the gate back into the city. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “before they could get safely back inside the city gate”
