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.

וְעַל֩ שַׁ֨עַר הָעַ֜יִן וְנֶגְדָּ֗ם עָלוּ֙ עַֽל־מַעֲלוֹת֙ עִ֣יר דָּוִ֔יד בַּֽמַּעֲלֶ֖ה לַחוֹמָ֑ה
and,at gate_of the,fountain and,in_front_of,them went_up on/upon steps_of (a)_city Dāvid in/on/at/with,ascent of_the,wall
The implication, which the original audience of the book would apparently have understood, is that when this first procession reached the place described, rather than continue walking on the wall, which was about to follow a winding course around a hill, they took these stairs straight up the hill, and they rejoined the wall at the place where it went up to the top of the hill. Alternate translation: [When they reached the Fountain Gate, they left the wall and went up the stairs that were in front of them that led to the City of David. They came back onto the wall at the place where it reached the top of the hill they had just climbed]
Note 2 topic: translate-names
שַׁ֨עַר הָעַ֜יִן
gate_of the,fountain
This is the name of one of the gates of Jerusalem. See how you translated it in [2:14](../02/14.md) and [3:15](../03/15.md). Alternate translation: [the Fountain Gate]
Note 3 topic: translate-names
עִ֣יר דָּוִ֔יד
(a)_city Dāvid
This was one part of Jerusalem. See how you translated it in [3:15](../03/15.md). Alternate translation: [the City of David]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מֵעַל֙ לְבֵ֣ית דָּוִ֔יד
from=under at,house_of Dāvid
This means that as the group walked on the top of the wall once again, at this point they were higher than this palace where David had lived. (In [3:25](../03/25.md) this same building is called “the upper house of the king,” meaning the royal palace that was located in a more elevated part of the city.) Alternate translation: [They walked along the wall, above the palace where David had lived]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לְבֵ֣ית דָּוִ֔יד
at,house_of Dāvid
This building is called a house because David had lived in it. Alternate translation: [the palace where David had lived]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְעַ֛ד שַׁ֥עַר הַמַּ֖יִם מִזְרָֽח
and=unto gate_of the=waters east
Here the book leaves out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. This sentence is indicating that once this group reached the Water Gate, it stopped. This left them just to the east of the temple. As [12:39](../12/39.md) explains, the other group stopped just to the west of the temple, and the two groups joined together in the temple area. Alternate translation: [until they reached the Water Gate, and there they stopped, on the east side of the temple]
