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.

If you decided in the verse 6 to translate this quotation in such a way that there would not be a quotation within a quotation, you can continue doing that here. Alternate translation: [He says that all of the house of Ahab will perish, and he will cut off from Ahab one pissing against a wall, both one restrained and one set free in Israel]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הִכְרַתִּ֤י לְ⁠אַחְאָב֙

Yahweh is speaking as if, through Jehu, he will actually cut off these people, as if they were plants that Jehu would remove from the ground with a sharp tool. He means that he will have Jehu kill them. Alternate translation: [and I will have you kill in Ahab’s family]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

מַשְׁתִּ֣ין בְּ⁠קִ֔יר

(Some words not found in UHB: and,it_will_perish all/each/any/every house_of ʼAḩʼāⱱ and,I_will_cut_off to,Ahab one_urinating on,a_wall and,shut_up and,freed in,Israel )

Yahweh is referring to the males in Ahab’s household. To emphasize how angry he is at the serious sins of Ahab and his family and what severe punishment they deserve, Yahweh is using a vivid expression that might be considered vulgar in some cultures. If it would not be appropriate for your readers if you reproduced this exact expression, you could use an equivalent one that would reflect Yahweh’s anger. You could also use plain language. If you have already translated the book of 1 Kings, see how you translated the similar expression in [1 Kings 14:10](../1ki/14/10.md). Alternate translation: [every single one of the men]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

וְ⁠עָצ֥וּר וְ⁠עָז֖וּב

and,shut_up and,freed

Yahweh is referring to all of Ahab’s male descendants by naming the two main categories of them, one restrained (legal slaves) and one set free (legal free men). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [all male descendants] or [every male descendant]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠עָצ֥וּר וְ⁠עָז֖וּב

and,shut_up and,freed

The expressions one restrained and one set free are passive verbal forms. If you decide to represent both expressions in your translation, and if your language would not use such forms, you could express the ideas in active form or in another way that would be natural in your language. Alternate translation: [both slaves and free men]
