NEH 11:31 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: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וּ⁠בְנֵ֥י

and=the_sons

This phrase indicates that a different group will now be in focus, the people of the tribe of Benjamin. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate this contrast with an expression such as “for their part.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בְנֵ֥י בִנְיָמִ֖ן

and=the_sons Binyāmīn

Sons here means “descendants.” Alternate translation: [the people of the tribe of Benjamin]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

מִ⁠גָּ֑בַע

from,Geba

Here the list is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. The meaning is that the people of the tribe of Benjamin lived in different towns, beginning with Geba and including the rest of the towns that the list names afterwards. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say this explicitly. Alternate translation: [lived in other towns, including Geba]

Note 4 topic: translate-names

מִ⁠גָּ֑בַע מִכְמָ֣שׂ וְ⁠עַיָּ֔ה וּ⁠בֵֽית־אֵ֖ל

from,Geba Mikmāş and,Aija and,Beth- -\sup_ʼēl

These are the names of four towns.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בֵֽית־אֵ֖ל וּ⁠בְנֹתֶֽי⁠הָ

and,Beth- -\sup_ʼēl and,villages_of,its

As in [11:25](../11/25.md) (and also in verses [27](../11/27.md), [28](../11/28.md), [30](../11/30.md), and [31](../11/31.md)), daughters is a figurative way of speaking of the small communities that grow up around a town. Review the note to [11:25](../11/25.md) if that would be helpful. Alternate translation: [Bethel and its villages]
