PSA 105:31 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אָ֭מַר

he/it_had_said

The implication is that Yahweh commanded the flies to come. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Yahweh commanded the flies]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

כִּ֝נִּ֗ים בְּ⁠כָל

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_had_said and,it_came swarms_of_flies gnats in=all territory_of,their )

The psalmist is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [gnats came into all]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

גְּבוּלָֽ⁠ם

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_had_said and,it_came swarms_of_flies gnats in=all territory_of,their )

The pronoun their refers to the Egyptians. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the Egyptians’ territory]
