NEH 9:20 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—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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:

וְ⁠רוּחֲ⁠ךָ֨ הַ⁠טּוֹבָ֔ה

and,spirit_of,your (the),good

This seems to be a reference to God in person. If your language uses capitalization or some other convention to indicate that a word is referring to God, you could use it here. Alternate translation: [your good Spirit]

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וּ⁠מַנְ⁠ךָ֙ לֹא־מָנַ֣עְתָּ מִ⁠פִּי⁠הֶ֔ם וּ⁠מַ֛יִם נָתַ֥תָּה לָ⁠הֶ֖ם לִ⁠צְמָאָֽ⁠ם

and,manna_of,your not withhold from,mouth_of,their and=water you(ms)_put to/for=them for,thirst_of,their

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of the phrases in each clause since in both cases the first phrase gives the reason for the result that is described in the second phrase. Alternate translation: [Because they were hungry, you continued to feed them with manna, and because they were thirsty, you gave them water]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

וּ⁠מַנְ⁠ךָ֙

and,manna_of,your

This was the special food that Yahweh provided for the Israelites in the desert. See the note in [9:15](../09/15.md). Alternate translation: [special food] or [that special food, manna]

לֹא־מָנַ֣עְתָּ מִ⁠פִּי⁠הֶ֔ם

not withhold from,mouth_of,their

Here the Levites describe being nourished by food by referring to something associated with it, the mouth that eats the food. If it would be helpful in your language, you could describe this more generally. Alternate translation: [you continued to feed them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

לֹא־מָנַ֣עְתָּ מִ⁠פִּי⁠הֶ֔ם

not withhold from,mouth_of,their

This is a figure of speech that expresses a strong positive meaning by using a negative word with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. Alternate translation: [you generously gave them manna]
