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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

כִּי֩ עֵ֨ד ה֜וּא בֵּינֵ֣י⁠נוּ וּ⁠בֵינֵי⁠כֶ֗ם

that/for/because/then/when witness he/it between,us and,between,you_all

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [but as a witness between us and the western tribes]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

דֹּרוֹתֵי⁠נוּ֮

generations_of,our

The eastern representatives are using the pronoun our to refer to their generations and those of their listeners, so use the inclusive form of that pronoun if your language marks that distinction.

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

לַ⁠עֲבֹ֞ד אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֤ת יְהוָה֙

that,perform DOM service_of YHWH

For emphasis, the eastern representatives are using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [to serve Yahweh diligently]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנָ֔י⁠ו

in,presence_of,his

The representatives of the eastern tribes are using the term face by association to mean the presence of someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in his presence] or [at the tent of meeting]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וְ⁠לֹא־יֹאמְר֨וּ בְנֵי⁠כֶ֤ם מָחָר֙ לְ⁠בָנֵ֔י⁠נוּ אֵין־לָ⁠כֶ֥ם חֵ֖לֶק בַּ⁠יהוָֽה

and=not say children_of,your_all's in_the_future to,children_of,our not to/for=you_all portion in/on/at/with,LORD

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [That way their descendants would not tell our descendants in the future that they had no portion in Yahweh]
