Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

קריאי הָ⁠עֵדָ֔ה

called_of the,community

The text does not specify who called the called ones of the congregation. Most likely, the Israelite community appointed these men in some way. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the ones whom the community appointed”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

קריאי

called_of

If your language does not use this passive 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 did the action, the previous verses indicate that Yahweh called these men. Alternate translation: “were those whom Yahweh called of”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

קריאי

called_of

Here, called refers to being chosen to do something. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “were the chosen ones of”

Here, the thousands of Israel refers to the divisions of people within Israel’s tribes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the divisions within Israel”
