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. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

עָ֣רַב

puts_up_security

Although the term he is masculine, Solomon is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “one pledged for” or “that person pledges for”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עָ֣רַב

puts_up_security

See how you translated the same use of “pledge” in 6:1.

Note 3 topic: translate-symaction

תֹקְעִ֣ים

pledge

The function of this action in this culture was to confirm a contractual agreement between people. If there is a gesture with a similar meaning in your culture, you could consider using it here in your translation, or you could express the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase “clasp your palms” in 6:1. Alternate translation: “shaking hands to confirm an agreement” or “confirming an agreement”
