NUM 18:5 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 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 / yousingular

וּ⁠שְׁמַרְתֶּ֗ם

and,you(pl)_will_keep

The word you is plural here because it refers to Aaron and his sons. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֵ֚ת מִשְׁמֶ֣רֶת הַ⁠קֹּ֔דֶשׁ וְ⁠אֵ֖ת מִשְׁמֶ֣רֶת הַ⁠מִּזְבֵּ֑חַ

DOM duties_of of,the_holy_place and=DOM duties_of of,the_altar

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of keeping, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [you shall guard the holy place and you shall guard the altar]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠קֹּ֔דֶשׁ

of,the_holy_place

Here, as in 18:1, the phrase the holy place could refer to: (1) the sacred objects that were inside the holy place. This is what the phrase means in 10:21. Alternate translation: [the things that belong in the holy place] (2) the sacred tent itself. This is what the phrase means in 3:38. Alternate translation: [the sacred tent]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

קֶ֖צֶף

severe_anger

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wrath, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Yahweh being angry]

Note 5 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: [the people of Israel]
