Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

See how you translated the similar expression in [10:22](../10/22.md). Alternate translation: [a fleet of long-range ships]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וְ⁠לֹ֣א הָלָ֑ךְ כִּֽי־נִשְׁבְּר֥וּ אֳנִיּ֖וֹת בְּ⁠עֶצְי֥וֹן גָּֽבֶר

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [but because the ships were broken at Ezion Geber, he did not go]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וְ⁠לֹ֣א הָלָ֑ךְ

and=not go

The author is using one person who was involved in this action, Jehoshaphat, referring to him as he, to represent everyone who was involved. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [but they never set sail]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

כִּֽי־נִשְׁבְּר֥וּ אֳנִיּ֖וֹת

The expression were broken is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [because a storm broke up the ships]
