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: figures-of-speech / parallelism

יָדֹ֣עַ תֵּ֭דַע פְּנֵ֣י צֹאנֶ֑⁠ךָ שִׁ֥ית לִ֝בְּ⁠ךָ֗ לַ⁠עֲדָרִֽים

sure know face/surface_of flocks,your attends heart,your to,herds

These two clauses mean basically the same thing. The second clause emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the clauses with a word that shows that the second clause is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: “Know well the faces of your flock; yes, set your heart to the herds”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

פְּנֵ֣י

face/surface_of

Here, faces refers to what the animals in the flock look like, which would indicate the condition of their health. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the condition of”

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

צֹאנֶ֑⁠ךָ

flocks,your

In this verse, the word flock is singular in form, but it refers to all sheep or goats as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: “your group of sheep”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

שִׁ֥ית לִ֝בְּ⁠ךָ֗

attends heart,your

See how you translated this phrase in 22:17.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לַ⁠עֲדָרִֽים

to,herds

The parallelism with the previous clause indicates that Solomon is referring to the condition of the herds. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “to the condition of the herds”
