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.

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.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

תִּ֭תְהַפֵּךְ & וְ֝⁠יִֽתְיַצְּב֗וּ

changed & and,stand_out

The pronoun it refers to the earth and the pronoun they refers to the features of the earth. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “The earth is changed … and its features stand out”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

תִּ֭תְהַפֵּךְ כְּ⁠חֹ֣מֶר חוֹתָ֑ם

changed like,clay seal

The point of this comparison is that just as plain clay takes on distinct features when it is pressed under a seal, so the features of the earth become distinct in the light of day. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: “Its features change from indistinct to distinct, just as clay takes on distinct features when it is pressed under a seal”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

תִּ֭תְהַפֵּךְ

changed

Yahweh means implicitly that this happens at dawn. You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “When the light of day shines on it, it is changed”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

תִּ֭תְהַפֵּךְ

changed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The light of day changes it”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

כְּמ֣וֹ לְבֽוּשׁ

like garment

Yahweh is using the term garment by association to mean the folds of a garment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “like the folds of a garment”
