JOS 2:6 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.

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וְ⁠הִ֖יא הֶעֱלָ֣תַ⁠ם הַ⁠גָּ֑גָ⁠ה וַֽ⁠תִּטְמְנֵ⁠ם֙ בְּ⁠פִשְׁתֵּ֣י הָ⁠עֵ֔ץ הָ⁠עֲרֻכ֥וֹת לָ֖⁠הּ עַל־הַ⁠גָּֽג

and=she brought_~_up,them the,roof,to and,hidden,them in/on/at/with,flax_of the=tree the,laid_out to/for=her/it on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,roof

The author is providing this background information to explain how Rahab had hidden the men, as described in [2:4](../02/04.md). Use a natural way in your language for introducing background information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠גָּ֑גָ⁠ה

the,roof,to

The roof was flat and strong, so people could walk around on it. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate explicitly that the roof was flat. The UST models one way to do this.

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

בְּ⁠פִשְׁתֵּ֣י הָ⁠עֵ֔ץ

in/on/at/with,flax_of the=tree

The word flax refers to a plant that is grown for its fibers, which are used in making cloth. It has tall, slender stalks that can be tied into bundles. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of plant, you could use the name of something similar in your area, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [in the long stalks of a plant]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הָ⁠עֲרֻכ֥וֹת לָ֖⁠הּ

the,laid_out to/for=her/it

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [that she had arranged]
