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.

(Some words not found in UHB: and,show wonders in/on/at/with,heavens and,in/on/at/with,earth blood and,fire and,columns_of smoke )
Yahweh is not referring to a specific lot. He means “lots” in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [lots]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
וַיִּתְּנ֤וּ הַיֶּ֨לֶד֙ בַּזּוֹנָ֔ה וְהַיַּלְדָּ֛ה מָכְר֥וּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and,show wonders in/on/at/with,heavens and,in/on/at/with,earth blood and,fire and,columns_of smoke )
The words a boy, a prostitute, and a girl represent these people in general, not one particular boy or prostitute or girl. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: [and they traded boys for prostitutes, and they sold girls]
