Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others 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 early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

הַ⁠בָּשָׂ֗ר עוֹדֶ֨⁠נּוּ֙ בֵּ֣ין שִׁנֵּי⁠הֶ֔ם טֶ֖רֶם יִכָּרֵ֑ת

the,meat still,it between teeth_of,their before/not_yet consumed

The expression The flesh was still between their teeth, before it was cut off was a common expression of this culture that means “before they had even chewed and swallowed the meat.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [They were about to bite off some of the flesh and chew it]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

טֶ֖רֶם יִכָּרֵ֑ת

before/not_yet consumed

The expression was cut off is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is the Israelites. Alternate translation: [before they cut it off]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠אַ֤ף יְהוָה֙ חָרָ֣ה בָ⁠עָ֔ם

and,the_anger_of YHWH it_glowed/burnt on,people

The phrase the nose of Yahweh burned is a common expression of this culture that means that Yahweh is angry. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and Yahweh’s anger burned against the people] or [and Yahweh was enraged with the people]

Note 4 topic: writing-poetry

וַ⁠יַּ֤ךְ יְהוָה֙ בָּ⁠עָ֔ם מַכָּ֖ה רַבָּ֥ה מְאֹֽד

and,he_struck YHWH (on),people plague enough/great(fs) very

The author is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of saying this. Alternate translation: [and Yahweh struck the people very hard]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יַּ֤ךְ יְהוָה֙ בָּ⁠עָ֔ם מַכָּ֖ה רַבָּ֥ה מְאֹֽד

and,he_struck YHWH (on),people plague enough/great(fs) very

The implication is that Yahweh caused a large number of people to die, possibly through a disease or plague. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. See the discussion of the term “struck” in the Introduction to Numbers. Alternate translation: [and Yahweh caused many of the people to die] or [and Yahweh sent a terrible plague among the people]
