NUM 6:9 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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

יָמ֨וּת מֵ֤ת

dies one_dying

It might seem that the expression a dying one dies contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [a person dies]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מֵ֤ת עָלָי⁠ו֙

one_dying on/upon/above=him/it

Yahweh is using dies upon him as a common expression of his culture to mean “dies close to him.” 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: [dies close to him]

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

בְּ⁠פֶ֣תַע פִּתְאֹ֔ם

with,suddenness suddenly

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

The word translated as 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: [and so he makes unclean]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

רֹ֣אשׁ נִזְר֑⁠וֹ

head his_consecration_of,his

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

Yahweh assumes that readers will know that a person who becomes unclean from being near a dead body must wait seven days before being purified, according to the law in [Numbers 19:11–22](../19/11.md). You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [on the day of his purification. That is the seventh day after he was near a dead body according to the law concerning impurity from corpses, and on that day he shall shave it]
