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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns
וְשַׂמְתִּ֨י אֲנִ֧י אֶת־ פָּנַ֛י בָּאִ֥ישׁ הַה֖וּא
(Some words not found in UHB: and,set I DOM face_of,my in/on/at/with,man (the)=that and,in/on/at/with,family_of,his and,cut_off DOM=him/it and=DOM all/each/any/every the,prostituting follow,him in,prostituting after the,Molech from,among_of people_of,their )
The words I, myself, and my refer to Yahweh, while the words that man refer to the individual who has sacrificed his children to the false god Molech. If this would not be clear in your language, consider making these referents explicit. Alternate translation: [then I, Yahweh, will put my face against the individual who has sacrificed his children to Molech]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְשַׂמְתִּ֨י אֲנִ֧י אֶת־ פָּנַ֛י בָּאִ֥ישׁ הַה֖וּא
(Some words not found in UHB: and,set I DOM face_of,my in/on/at/with,man (the)=that and,in/on/at/with,family_of,his and,cut_off DOM=him/it and=DOM all/each/any/every the,prostituting follow,him in,prostituting after the,Molech from,among_of people_of,their )
Like the expression “I will put my face against that man” in [20:3](../20/03.md), this expression is an idiom that refers to a decision to oppose someone. Here, the word face represents the entire person by metonymy. If your language has a similar idiom, consider using it here. If not, consider using a generic expression. Alternate translation: [And I will personally oppose that man] or [And I will make myself the enemy of that man]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וְהִכְרַתִּ֨י אֹת֜וֹ וְאֵ֣ת ׀ כָּל־ הַזֹּנִ֣ים אַחֲרָ֗יו לִזְנ֛וֹת אַחֲרֵ֥י הַמֹּ֖לֶךְ מִקֶּ֥רֶב עַמָּֽם׃
(Some words not found in UHB: and,set I DOM face_of,my in/on/at/with,man (the)=that and,in/on/at/with,family_of,his and,cut_off DOM=him/it and=DOM all/each/any/every the,prostituting follow,him in,prostituting after the,Molech from,among_of people_of,their )
The punishment for sacrificing one’s children to worship Molech is spoken of as if Yahweh were literally cutting off the individual from his people. It may be helpful to refer to how you handled the similar expression in [7:20](../07/20.md).
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
כָּל־ הַזֹּנִ֣ים אַחֲרָ֗יו לִזְנ֛וֹת אַחֲרֵ֥י הַמֹּ֖לֶךְ
all/each/any/every the,prostituting follow,him in,prostituting after the,Molech
This phrase uses a metaphor to compare those who are unfaithful to Yahweh and instead worship other gods to prostitutes. This implies a marriage between Yahweh and the people of Israel, such that Yahweh is like a husband and the people of Israel are like a wife. If your language has a similar metaphor to describe being religiously unfaithful in worship, consider using it here. If not, consider using a generic expression. Alternate translation: [all the people who are unfaithful to Yahweh by choosing to worship Molech instead]
