NUM 3:16 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: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠יִּפְקֹ֥ד אֹתָ֛⁠ם מֹשֶׁ֖ה

and,he_enrolled DOM=them Mosheh

The word And indicates that what follows is a result of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a result of what came before. Alternate translation: [As a result, Moses counted them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

עַל־פִּ֣י יְהוָ֑ה כַּ⁠אֲשֶׁ֖ר צֻוָּֽה

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in word_of YHWH just=as commanded

It might seem that the expression upon the mouth of Yahweh, just as he was commanded contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [exactly as he was commanded by Yahweh]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עַל־פִּ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in word_of YHWH

The author is using upon the mouth of Yahweh as a common expression of his culture to mean “according to what Yahweh said.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [as Yahweh had said]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

צֻוָּֽה

commanded

The expression he was commanded is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that 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 does the action, the context indicates that it is God. Alternate translation: [Yahweh commanded him]
