NEH 10:30 Parallel Verse View

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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וַ⁠אֲשֶׁ֛ר לֹא־נִתֵּ֥ן בְּנֹתֵ֖י⁠נוּ לְ⁠עַמֵּ֣י הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ וְ⁠אֶת־בְּנֹ֣תֵי⁠הֶ֔ם לֹ֥א נִקַּ֖ח לְ⁠בָנֵֽי⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: join on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in brothers_of,their nobles_of,their and,enter in/on/at/with,curse and,in/on/at/with,oath to=go in/on/at/with,law_of the=ʼElohīm which/who given in/on/at/with,hand_of Mosheh servant_of the=ʼElohīm and,to,observe and,to,do DOM all/each/any/every commands_of YHWH Lord_of,our and,ordinances_of,his and,statutes_of,his )

These two phrases mean similar things. They both indicate that the Jews are promising here not to let their children marry people from the other groups living in the area. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: [We promise that we will not allow any one of our children to marry someone from another people group]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

נִתֵּ֥ן

Here and through to the end of this chapter, the pronoun “we” includes Nehemiah and the Jewish people, but not the readers of this book.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠עַמֵּ֣י הָ⁠אָ֑רֶץ

This refers to other people groups who live in the land and who do not worship Yahweh. The implication is that intermarriage with these groups would lead the Israelites to compromise their loyalty to Yahweh. Alternate translation: [the people of this land who do not worship Yahweh]
