1 KI 14:23 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

For they also built

(Some words not found in UHB: and,built also/even they(emph) to/for=them high_places and,sacred_pillars and,sacred_poles on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in all/each/any/every hill high and,under all/each/any/every tree/message green )

The word “they” here refers to the people of Judah.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

built for themselves

The words “for themselves” are a metonym for what they will do with the high places. Alternate translation: “built for their own use” (See also: figs-rpronouns)

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

on every high hill and under every green tree

This is likely to be an exaggeration that indicates there were many places like these for false worship all over the country. Alternate translation: “on the high hills and under the green trees”
