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.

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.
