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.

and,he_repeated again/more Bālāq sent

Balak is using added again as a common expression of the culture to mean “did something again.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Balak again sent princes] or [Balak sent more princes]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

מֵ⁠אֵֽלֶּה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_repeated again/more Bālāq sent princes numerous and,honored from=these )

The pronoun these refers to the princes whom Balak sent the first time. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [than the princes he had sent the first time]
