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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
וְאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֤ר יִנְאַף֙ אֶת־אֵ֣שֶׁת אִ֔ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִנְאַ֖ף אֶת־אֵ֣שֶׁת רֵעֵ֑הוּ
and,man which/who commits_adultery DOM wife_of (a)_man which/who commits_adultery DOM wife_of his/its=neighbour
These two phrases mean basically the same thing and emphasize that the man has committed adultery with another man’s wife. You can translate this parallelism into one statement that conveys the seriousness of these actions. Alternate translation: “And who ever commits adultery with another man’s wife, indeed, his neighbor’s wife”

מֽוֹת־ יוּמַ֥ת

See how you handled this expression in 20:2.

The words adulterer and adulteress refer to the man and woman who have committed adultery, respectively. If this would not be clear in your language, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the man and the woman who have committed adultery”
