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.

כִּֽי

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when people_of,[are]_your and,inheritance_of,your they which/who brought_out from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt) from,the_midst_of furnace_of of_(the),iron )

Here the word For introduces the reason why Solomon feels he can ask Yahweh to respond to all the different kinds of prayers he has described. This is the beginning of the conclusion to the prayer. This conclusion continues through verse 53. If the connection between what Solomon says here and what he has said previously is not clear, you may want to use a different connecting word or phrase to show how the relationship. The UST models one way to do that.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

הֵ֑ם

they

The pronoun they refers to the Israelites. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the Israelites]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

עַמְּ⁠ךָ֥ וְ⁠נַחֲלָתְ⁠ךָ֖

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when people_of,[are]_your and,inheritance_of,your they which/who brought_out from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt) from,the_midst_of furnace_of of_(the),iron )

Solomon is speaking of the people of Israel as if they were something that Yahweh had inherited as a lasting possession. He is referring to the Israelites as the people who belong to Yahweh perpetually. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. If you have already translated the book of 1 Samuel, see how you translated the similar expression in [1 Samuel 10:1](../1sa/10/01.md). Alternate translation: [your people who belong to you perpetually]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

מִ⁠מִּצְרַ֔יִם מִ⁠תּ֖וֹךְ כּ֥וּר הַ⁠בַּרְזֶֽל

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when people_of,[are]_your and,inheritance_of,your they which/who brought_out from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt) from,the_midst_of furnace_of of_(the),iron )

Here, furnace of iron describes a furnace that is characterized by the working or smelting of iron. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [from Egypt, from the midst of that very hot furnace in which people melt iron]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠מִּצְרַ֔יִם מִ⁠תּ֖וֹךְ כּ֥וּר הַ⁠בַּרְזֶֽל

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when people_of,[are]_your and,inheritance_of,your they which/who brought_out from=Miʦrayim/(Egypt) from,the_midst_of furnace_of of_(the),iron )

Solomon is alluding to [Deuteronomy 4:20](../04/20.md), where Moses calls Egypt a “furnace of iron” to represent that the Israelites suffered greatly there, as if they had been iron melting inside such a very hot furnace. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [from Egypt, where the Egyptians severely oppressed you]
