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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-plural

עַד־רַחֲבֵי־אָ֑רֶץ

until expanse earth

Yahweh is using the plural form breadths in a context where the singular term “breadth” would suffice. This suggests that he is using the plural form for emphasis. Your language may use plural forms in the same way. If not, you could express the meaning in another way. Alternate translation: “to how very broad the earth is”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ֝גֵּ֗ד

tell

See how you translated the term “Declare” in 38:4. Alternate translation: “Explain how wide the earth is”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

יָדַ֥עְתָּ כֻלָּֽ⁠הּ

know all,this

The pronoun it refers to the earth. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “you know everything about the earth” or “you have seen all the way to the edge of the earth”
