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.

3:10 OSHB note: We read one or more accents in L differently than BHS. Often this notation indicates a typographical error in BHS.

Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the OET-RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
(Occurrence 0) What is this? Has Yahweh called three kings to give them into the hand of Moab?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said king Yisrael alas that/for/because/then/when he/it_called YHWH for,three_of the,kings the=these to,give DOM,them in/on/at/with,hand_of Mōʼāⱱ )
The king uses a rhetorical question to emphasize how ridiculous and terrible their situation is. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “It looks like Yahweh will allow all three of us to be captured by Moab!”

(Occurrence 0) to give them into the hand of Moab
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said king Yisrael alas that/for/because/then/when he/it_called YHWH for,three_of the,kings the=these to,give DOM,them in/on/at/with,hand_of Mōʼāⱱ )
Here “Moab” refers to its army. Also, “the hand of Moab” refers to the “control” of Moab’s army. Alternate translation: “to give us over to Moab’s control” or “so the army of Moab will defeat us” (See also: figs-metonymy)
