Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַל־תְּהִ֥י בְ⁠סֹֽבְאֵי

not be in/on/at/with,drink_too_much

See how you translated the same use of Do not be among in 22:26.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

בְּ⁠זֹלֲלֵ֖י בָשָׂ֣ר

in/on/at/with,gluttonous_eaters flesh/meat

The writer is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a clause would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from the previous clause if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and do not be among gluttonous eaters of flesh”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

בָשָׂ֣ר

flesh/meat

Here, flesh refers to meat, which is animal flesh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly, as in the UST.
