NUM 16:42 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הִנֵּ֥ה & הֶ⁠עָנָ֑ן

and=see/lo/see! & the,cloud

The author is using the term behold to focus his listeners’ attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [and look, the cloud] or [and they immediately noticed that the cloud]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִסָּ֖ה⁠וּ הֶ⁠עָנָ֑ן

it,covered_it the,cloud

By the cloud covered it, the author means that the cloud that represented God’s presence descended upon the tent of meeting. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [it was enveloped in the cloud] or [the cloud rested on it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הֶ⁠עָנָ֑ן

the,cloud

The author assumes that readers will know this is the cloud that had been with the Israelites since their departure from Egypt and is described in [Numbers 9:15–23](../09/15.md). You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the cloud that had previously been over the tent]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ⁠יֵּרָ֖א כְּב֥וֹד יְהוָֽה

and,it_appeared glory_of YHWH

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. See how you translated this clause in [verse 19](../16/19.md). Alternate translation: [and Yahweh showed himself gloriously]
