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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וַ⁠יְהִ֧י לִ⁠שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה שִׁבְעִ֥ים אֶ֖לֶף נֹשֵׂ֣א סַבָּ֑ל וּ⁠שְׁמֹנִ֥ים אֶ֖לֶף חֹצֵ֥ב

and=he/it_was (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was to,Solomon seventy thousand lifting/taking labourers and=eighty thousand stonecutters in,country )

In this verse, the words carrier of a burden and quarrier are singular in form, but they refer to all the workers as groups. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the plural form of these terms. Alternate translation: [And there were to Solomon 70,000 burden carriers and 80,000 quarriers]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / events

שִׁבְעִ֥ים אֶ֖לֶף נֹשֵׂ֣א סַבָּ֑ל וּ⁠שְׁמֹנִ֥ים אֶ֖לֶף חֹצֵ֥ב בָּ⁠הָֽר

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was to,Solomon seventy thousand lifting/taking labourers and=eighty thousand stonecutters in,country )

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about the quarriers before the information about the carriers, since the quarriers would first dig out the stones and the carriers would then drag them away. Alternate translation: [80,000 quarriers in the hill country and 70,000 burden carriers]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

שִׁבְעִ֥ים אֶ֖לֶף נֹשֵׂ֣א סַבָּ֑ל

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was to,Solomon seventy thousand lifting/taking labourers and=eighty thousand stonecutters in,country )

Here the author uses a general expression, a carrier of a burden, for someone who would transport goods by picking them up and carrying them. However, the huge blocks of stone that the other workers were cutting for the temple were far too heavy for anyone to carry. Even a large group of men could not have picked them up and carried them. So use a term here in your translation that indicates more generally that these men transported the stone blocks. (They probably did this by mounting the stones on sledges and pulling the sledges over a series of round wooden logs that teams of men would move from the rear to the front in succession.) Alternate translation: [70,000 transporters] or [70,000 haulers of stone]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

חֹצֵ֥ב

stonecutters

A quarrier is a person who cuts stone out of rock formations. If your readers would not be familiar with what a quarrier is, you could use a more general term or explain it in a footnote. Alternate translation: [a stone cutter] or [a person who cut stone]
