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.

14:4 The items listed here were part of the cleansing ritual involving the ashes of the red heifer (Num 19:6), but their exact significance is unknown. See also Heb 9:18-22. Hyssop was a small plant used for sprinkling blood (Exod 12:22) and in purification rites (Num 19:18).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְצִוָּה֙ הַכֹּהֵ֔ן
and,command the=priest/officer
This expression leaves out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. Here, the priest is telling the infected person how to prepare for his cleansing. You could supply words from the context if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [And the priest shall command the people what they must do]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וְלָקַ֧ח לַמִּטַּהֵ֛ר
and=he/it_will_take for_the,cleansed
This expression contains the context of what the priest is commanding. Here, he refers to anyone in general. Alternate translation: [and someone shall take for the one being cleansed
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
לַמִּטַּהֵ֛ר
for_the,cleansed
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [for the person whom the priest is cleansing]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וּשְׁנִ֥י תוֹלַ֖עַת
and,yarn_of scarlet
By using the expression scarlet of worm, the author is referring to fabric or twine by association with its color. The dye for this scarlet color was likely the byproduct of crushing the eggs of a certain insect, here referred to as a worm. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers, either in a footnote or in the text of your translation. Alternate translation: [and thread that has been naturally dyed bright red]
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
וְאֵזֹֽב
and,hyssop
This hyssop was a leafy plant, an herb that was common in Israel. Its large and numerous leaves made it ideal for use in sprinkling, especially in ceremonial or ritual contexts, as described in the present chapter. If your language does not have a word for this plant, consider using a generic expression. Alternate translation: [and some leafy branches]
