NEH 10:32 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 / personification

וְ⁠הֶעֱמַ֤דְנוּ עָלֵ֨י⁠נוּ֙ מִצְוֺ֔ת

and,we_establish on,ourselves obligation

As in [5:13](../05/13.md), the covenant speaks of the commitments the people are making as if they were living things that could stand, that is, stay in place rather than go away. The people are saying that they will make sure this commitment does not “go away.” Alternate translation: [we are making a firm commitment]

לָ⁠תֵ֥ת עָלֵ֛י⁠נוּ

Alternate translation: [each one of us will contribute]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,we_establish on,ourselves obligation to,put on,ourselves a_third_of of,the_shekel in,year for,the_service_of house_of our_God_of,our )

In ancient times, a silver shekel weighed about 11 grams or about a third of an ounce. You could try to express this in terms of modern money values, but if you did, that could cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate over time since those values can change from year to year. Instead, you could give the equivalent weight or use the biblical term in the text and give the weight in a note. Alternate translation: [a third of a shekel each year] or [four grams of silver each year]

The abstract noun service describes all the things needed for worship in the temple, as listed in the next verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind this word with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [everything that is needed for worship in the temple]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֵּ֥ית אֱלֹהֵֽי⁠נוּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,we_establish on,ourselves obligation to,put on,ourselves a_third_of of,the_shekel in,year for,the_service_of house_of our_God_of,our )

As in [6:10](../06/10.md) and [8:16](../08/16.md), here the covenant speaks of the temple as the house of God, as if it were God’s dwelling place. Alternate translation: [the temple]
