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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
יִשְׂחַ֣ק לְ֭פַחַד וְלֹ֣א יֵחָ֑ת
laughs at,fear and=not dismayed
Yahweh is speaking of the horse as if it could consciously express by laughing what it was thinking and feeling. Here the term laughs implicitly means laughing scornfully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [It does not feel fear; no, it is not frightened]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
יִשְׂחַ֣ק לְ֭פַחַד וְלֹ֣א יֵחָ֑ת
laughs at,fear and=not dismayed
These two expressions mean similar things. Yahweh is using them terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [It is not afraid at all]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublenegatives
וְלֹֽא־יָ֝שׁ֗וּב מִפְּנֵי־חָֽרֶב
and=not turn_back from=face/in_front_of sword
If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this double negative that consists of the negative particle not and the negative verb turn back. Alternate translation: [and it charges forward to the face of the sword]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
מִפְּנֵי־חָֽרֶב
from=face/in_front_of sword
Here the word face represents the presence of a person or thing by association with the way people can see the face of someone who is present. Alternate translation: [from the presence of the sword]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
מִפְּנֵי־חָֽרֶב
from=face/in_front_of sword
Yahweh is not referring to a specific sword. He means swords in general and, by extension, all the weapons of an enemy army. Alternate translation: [from the weapons it encounters]
