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 / idiom
וְעַתָּ֗ה
and=now
See how you translated the same expression in [1:2](../01/02.md). Alternate translation: [So here is what I want you to do:]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
עָשִׂ֥יתִי עִמָּכֶ֖ם חָ֑סֶד וַעֲשִׂיתֶ֨ם גַּם־אַתֶּ֜ם עִם־בֵּ֤ית אָבִי֙ חֶ֔סֶד
dealt to,you_all kindly and,deal also/yet you_all with house_of father's_of,my kindly
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of kindness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [I am acting kindly toward you, swear to me that you yourselves will also act kindly toward the house of my father]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בֵּ֤ית אָבִי֙
house_of father's_of,my
Rahab is not using the expression the house of my father to refer to the building in which her father lives. As the next verse indicates, the expression means her extended family, which included her parents, her siblings, and their spouses and children. Alternate translation: [the household of my father] or [my extended family]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
א֥וֹת אֱמֶֽת
sign/signal/evidence sure
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea in another way. (This sign turns out to be the scarlet cord that the spies give Rahab in [2:18](../02/18.md).) Alternate translation: [a sign that you will truly do what you promise]
