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.

15:2 bodily discharge (literally a flowing from his flesh): Most scholars interpret the word flesh as a euphemism for sexual organs and the symptoms described here as indicating an infection of gonorrhea. Others suggest that it refers to a discharge of semen or even diarrhea. A discharge of semen is unlikely, however, because that is singled out in 15:16-17 and required only washing with water. It is clear that this bodily discharge proceeded from “under the man” (15:10) and contaminated anything he sat on or lay upon (15:4, 6, 9).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
דַּבְּרוּ֙ אֶל־בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם אֲלֵהֶ֑ם
speak to/towards sons_of Yisrael and,say to,them
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition emphasizes that Moses and Aaron are to deliver the following speech to the people of Israel. If your language does not use repetition for emphasis, you could use a single phrase and convey the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Make sure you say to the sons of Israel”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
sons_of Yisrael
See how you translated this metaphor in 1:2.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֖ם
and,say
The word you here is plural. The word refers to Moses and Aaron. Use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 4 topic: writing-poetry
אִ֣ישׁ אִ֗ישׁ
(a)_man (a)_man
Words are being repeated for emphasis. Specifically, here man is repeated to refer to any male. If your language can repeat words in a similar way, consider doing so here. If not, consider using a generic expression. Alternate translation: “Any man”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
מִבְּשָׂר֔וֹ
from,body,his
Here and throughout this chapter, the word flesh is a polite way of referring to a man‘s genitals. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: “from his sexual organs”
