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.

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
לְמַטְעַמּוֹתָ֑יו
to,delicacies,his
Here, his refers to the “ruler” mentioned in 23:1. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “that ruler’s delicious morsels”
וְ֝ה֗וּא
and=he
Although it is singular, it refers to the delicious morsels in the previous clause. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this with a plural form. Alternate translation: “for they”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
לֶ֣חֶם כְּזָבִֽים
food/grain/bread deceptive
Here, the writer is using the possessive form to refer to bread that someone gives for the purpose of lies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: “is bread for deception”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
לֶ֣חֶם
food/grain/bread
See how you translated the same use of bread in 9:5.
