NEH 10:30 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted 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: and=which not give daughters_of,our to,the_peoples_of the=earth/land and=DOM daughters_of,their not take for,sons_of,our )

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

(Some words not found in UHB: and=which not give daughters_of,our to,the_peoples_of the=earth/land and=DOM daughters_of,their not take for,sons_of,our )

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

(Some words not found in UHB: and=which not give daughters_of,our to,the_peoples_of the=earth/land and=DOM daughters_of,their not take for,sons_of,our )

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]
