NUM 8:13 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 / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֥י אַהֲרֹ֖ן וְ⁠לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י בָנָ֑י⁠ו

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before ʼAhₐron and,,before_of sons_of,his

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

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠הֵנַפְתָּ֥ אֹתָ֛⁠ם תְּנוּפָ֖ה לַֽ⁠יהוָֽה

and,you_will_wave DOM=them wave_offering to/for=YHWH

Here, Yahweh is speaking of dedicating the Levites to Yahweh as if their dedication were a raised offering that was lifted up to him. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase in [8:11](../08/11.md). Alternate translation: [and you shall dedicate the Levites to Yahweh as you do when you raise a raised offering]

Note 3 topic: writing-poetry

וְ⁠הֵנַפְתָּ֥ אֹתָ֛⁠ם תְּנוּפָ֖ה לַֽ⁠יהוָֽה

and,you_will_wave DOM=them wave_offering to/for=YHWH

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 you shall offer them as a raised offering to Yahweh]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

תְּנוּפָ֖ה

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 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

לַֽ⁠יהוָֽה

to/for=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 me]
