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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

בַּעֲלֵ֖י מִֽגְדַּל־שְׁכֶ֑ם

masters_of tower_of Shekem

Here the author is probably re-introducing participants to the story whom he has mentioned earlier. They seem to be the same people who are described in [9:6](../09/06.md) as “Beth Millo,” officers from a military post near the city that included its defensive tower. If your language has its own way of re-introducing participants, you can use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [the officers of the military post that included the tower of Shechem]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֵּ֖ית

house_of

See how you translated the same expression in [9:4](../09/04.md). Alternate translation: [the temple of]

Note 3 topic: translate-names

אֵ֥ל בְּרִֽית

ʼĒl- -berith

The expression El-Berith seems to be another name for the false god that is called Baal-Berith in [8:33](../08/33.md) and [9:4](../09/04.md). El-Berith means “god of the covenant,” while Baal-Berith means “master of the covenant.” So that readers will know that this is the same false god, you could use the name Baal-Berith here, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [their false god]
