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 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 / idiom

וְ⁠עַל־יָד֥⁠וֹ בָנ֖וּ

and,at his/its=hand built

Here, at his hand is a figurative way of saying “beside him” or “next to him.” This expression occurs several times in this chapter. It would be helpful to your readers to translate it consistently. Alternate translation: “next to them”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אַנְשֵׁ֣י יְרֵח֑וֹ

men_of Yərīḩō/(Jericho)

The word men here can include women, and it does seem to include them in this context. Elsewhere in this chapter, 3:12 tells us that “Shallum and his daughters repaired part of the wall.” So we know that both men and women worked on this project. Alternate translation: “people from Jericho”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

יְרֵח֑וֹ

Yərīḩō/(Jericho)

Jericho is the name of one of the cities in Judah. We see from this chapter that several cities and towns sent work parties to help rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.

Note 4 topic: translate-names

זַכּ֖וּר בֶּן־אִמְרִֽי

Zaccur son_of Imri

Zaccur is the name of a man, and Imri is the name of his father.
