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.

וְ⁠הִזָּ֗ה עַ֧ל הַ⁠מִּטַּהֵ֛ר מִן־הַ⁠צָּרַ֖עַת שֶׁ֣בַע פְּעָמִ֑ים

and,sprinkle on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,cleansed from/more_than the,leprous_disease seven times

This is a ritual action by which cedar wood, hyssop, and a living bird are used to sprinkle the person with the skin disease with both blood and clean water. This action ritually purifies and cleanses the individual from any impurity that they acquired through their skin disease. It may be helpful to explain this to your readers in a footnote or in the text of your translation. See how you handled the idea of ritual sprinkling in 1:5 and elsewhere.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

עַ֧ל הַ⁠מִּטַּהֵ֛ר מִן־הַ⁠צָּרַ֖עַת

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,cleansed from/more_than the,leprous_disease

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: “on the person he is cleansing”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

Here, the expression the face of the field refers to an open field. If your language has a similar expression, consider using it here. If not, consider using a generic expression. Alternate translation: “toward an open field”

Here, the expression the field does not refer to a specific field but to any field near the place where the Israelites are living. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a more natural expression. Alternate translation: “any nearby field”
