JOEL 2:16 Parallel Verse View

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.

קִבְצ֣וּ זְקֵנִ֔ים אִסְפוּ֙ עֽוֹלָלִ֔ים וְ⁠יֹנְקֵ֖י שָׁדָ֑יִם

assemble elders gather children and,infants_of breast

Joel is speaking of two things in order to mean those two extremes and everything in between. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [assemble people of all ages]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יֵצֵ֤א חָתָן֙ מֵֽ⁠חֶדְר֔⁠וֹ וְ⁠כַלָּ֖ה מֵ⁠חֻפָּתָֽ⁠הּ

leave bridegroom from,room_of,his and,bride from,canopy_of,her

Joel means implicitly that while newlyweds are ordinarily excused from public duties, this is an exceptional circumstance that calls for even their attendance. Alternate translation: [Even newly married men and women should come to the assembly under these exceptional circumstances]
