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 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.

Lighten the yoke that your father put on us
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to,them what you_all advise and,send_back message DOM the,people the=this which/who said to=me to=say lighten from/more_than the,yoke which/who he/it_gave I_will_show=you(ms) on,us )
To “lighten the yoke” is a metaphor to represent lifting of the burden. Alternate translation: “Do not treat us as cruelly as your father did” or “Do not force us to work as hard as your father did”
