NUM 26:61 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.

fire unauthorized

The expression strange fire refers to a kind of burning coals that Yahweh had not authorized for use in his presence. If your readers would not be familiar with what strange fire is, you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [unauthorized fire]

לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH

Here, the face of Yahweh represents “the presence of Yahweh.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in the presence of Yahweh]
