NUM 1:47 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. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed 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: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וְ⁠הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֖ם

and,the,Levites

And introduces a contrast to what was expected. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast. Alternate translation: “But”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

לְ⁠מַטֵּ֣ה

by,tribe

See how you translated the tribe of in 1:21.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֲבֹתָ֑⁠ם

ancestral,their

See how you translated the same use of fathers in 1:2.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֹ֥א הָתְפָּקְד֖וּ

not numbered

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 Moses, Aaron, and the 12 leaders did not count these people. Alternate translation: “those whom Moses, Aaron, and the 12 leaders did not count”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּ⁠תוֹכָֽ⁠ם

in/on/at/with,midst,them

Here Moses refers to the Levites not being included in the census as if they were not located in the midst of the other tribes. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “together with them”
