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 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠שִׁלַּ֞ח אֶת־הַ⁠צִּפֹּ֧ר הַֽ⁠חַיָּ֛ה

and,release DOM the,bird the,live

Here, he refers to the priest and not to the owner of the house that is being cleansed. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “And the priest shall send the live bird”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֶל־פְּנֵ֣י הַ⁠שָּׂדֶ֑ה

to/towards to/towards face/surface_of the=field

See how you translated the similar expression in 14:7.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠כִפֶּ֥ר עַל־הַ⁠בַּ֖יִת

and,make_atonement on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,house

See how you translated the abstract noun atonement in 1:4. Here, however, make sure your translation makes it clear that the house is not being atoned for because of any sin on the part of anyone who lived in it. In this case, atonement removes impurity that is not caused by sin but by infection and uncleanness. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers in a footnote or in the text of your translation.
