NUM 8:11 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: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הֵנִיף֩ אַהֲרֹ֨ן אֶת־הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֤ם תְּנוּפָה֙ לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה

and,he_will_wave ʼAhₐron DOM the,Levites wave_offering to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH

Here, Moses is speaking of presenting the Levites to Yahweh as if they were a raised offering. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And Aaron shall dedicate the Levites to Yahweh as he does when he raises a raised offering]

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

וְ⁠הֵנִיף֩ אַהֲרֹ֨ן אֶת־הַ⁠לְוִיִּ֤ם תְּנוּפָה֙

and,he_will_wave ʼAhₐron DOM the,Levites wave_offering

Yahweh is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of saying this. Alternate translation: [And Aaron shall offer the Levites as a raised offering]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

תְּנוּפָה֙

wave_offering

The expression raised offering 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 a priest. Alternate translation: [as an offering that the priests raise]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה & אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֥ת יְהוָֽה

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH & DOM work_of YHWH

Yahweh is speaking of himself in the third person as Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [to my face … my service]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֔ה

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH

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

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לַ⁠עֲבֹ֖ד אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֥ת

to,serve DOM work_of

Here, just as in Numbers 4, the words serve and service refer to tasks of setting up, taking down, and carrying the sacred tent. See how you translated these words in [4:30](../04/30.md). Alternate translation: [for the physical labor required to move]

Note 7 topic: writing-poetry

לַ⁠עֲבֹ֖ד אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֥ת

to,serve DOM work_of

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֥ת יְהוָֽה

DOM DOM work_of YHWH

Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe a service that is done for Yahweh. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the service they do for Yahweh]

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֶת־עֲבֹדַ֥ת יְהוָֽה

DOM DOM work_of YHWH

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of service, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [as Yahweh needs to be served]
