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: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֗ן

and=he/it_said YHWH to/near ʼAhₐron

See how you translated the similar expression in [18:1](../18/01.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

חֶלְקְ⁠ךָ֙ וְ⁠נַחֲלָ֣תְ⁠ךָ֔

share_of,[am]_your and,inheritance_of,your

The terms portion and inheritance mean similar things. Yahweh is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [am your inheritance]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל

sons_of Yisrael

Here the masculine term sons has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [of the people of Israel]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠חֵ֕לֶק & וְ⁠נַחֲלָ֣תְ⁠ךָ֔

and,a_share & and,inheritance_of,your

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of portion and inheritance, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [and any land … and what you will receive]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲנִ֤י חֶלְקְ⁠ךָ֙ וְ⁠נַחֲלָ֣תְ⁠ךָ֔

I share_of,[am]_your and,inheritance_of,your

Here Yahweh is speaking of himself as if he were a portion and an inheritance, that is, as if he were the land or property that Aaron would receive. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [I am what you will possess and what you will inherit]
