PSA 24:6 Parallel Verse View

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. 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:

זֶ֭ה דּ֣וֹר דֹּרְשָׁ֑יו

this generation_of (Some words not found in UHB: this generation_of of,[those_who]_seek_him seek_of face_of,(of)_your Yaakob selah )

Here, generation represents a type or class of people who have something in common. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [This is the kind of people who seek him] or [These are the people who seek him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

(Some words not found in UHB: this generation_of of,[those_who]_seek_him seek_of face_of,(of)_your Yaakob selah )

These two phrases the ones seeking him and the ones seeking your face mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and you may want to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation. If it is helpful, you could connect the phrases in a way that shows that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [the ones seeking him, yes, the ones seeking your face]
