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.

3.26 Nathinæi. Dicuntur Gabaonitæ, qui in ministerium domus Domini juxta dispositionem Josue filii Nun fideli devotione serviebant. In Ophel. BEDA, ibid. Turris erat non longe a templo altitudine enormi. Unde Ophel, id est, tenebrarum vel nubili nomen accepit, quia nubibus caput inseruit. Denique ubi in Michæa scriptum est: Et tu turris gregis nebulosa Mich. 4., benedicitur turris Ophel. Hæc turris in qua parte sit civitatis, liber Paralipomenon ostendit, dicens quod Manasses ædificavit murum extra civitatem David ad occidentem Gihon in convalle, ab introitu portæ piscium per circuitum usque ad Ophel II Par. 33.. Conveniebat ergo juxta situm loci, ut ministri templi in vicina templo turre habitarent. Mystice autem Nathinæi habitant in Ophel, id est, in turre nebulosa, cum hi qui professione perfectioris vitæ dicati sunt Deo, et in munimento et altitudine virtutum actione semper et cogitatione morantur, et conversatio eorum in cœlis est, quos admirans vulgus ait: Qui sunt isti qui ut nubes volant Isa. 60., etc. Item Thecueni habitant in Ophel, cum quique religionis habitu insignes abdita Scripturarum de quibus scriptum est: Tenebrosa aqua in nubibus æris Psal. 17., id est, mystica scientia in prophetis, illustrato corde penetrant, et assidue legunt, et meditantur. Contra. BEDA, ibid. Dominum scilicet, qui quotidie nos misericordiæ suæ gratia, ne in ærumnis vitæ labamur præsentis et deficiamus, irrigat, etc., usque ad et quia post præsentia virtutum dona ad videndam claritatem Domini ascenditur, recte infertur: Post eum ædificaverunt Thecueni, etc.

Turris was not/no far_away from temple height enormi. Whence Ophel, id it_is, tenebrarum or nubili name he_received, because clouds the_head inseruit.
