Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) they poured out the stew

(Some words not found in UHB: and,served for,men to,eat and=he/it_was when,eating,they of,the,stew and,they cried_out and=they_said death in/on/at/with,pot (a)_man the=ʼElohīm and=not could to,eat )

Alternate translation: “they poured the stew into bowls”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) there is death in the pot

(Some words not found in UHB: and,served for,men to,eat and=he/it_was when,eating,they of,the,stew and,they cried_out and=they_said death in/on/at/with,pot (a)_man the=ʼElohīm and=not could to,eat )

This means that there was something in the pot that could kill them, not that there is something dead in the pot. Alternate translation: “there is something in the pot that will kill us”
