PSA 40:6 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. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool 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 / hyperbole

You have no delight in sacrifice or offering

(Some words not found in UHB: many you(ms)_have_done/made you(ms) YHWH God_of,my wonders_of,your and,thoughts_of,your toward,us not compare with,you proclaim and,tell numerous too_~_to,count )

This is an exaggeration to express that other things are much more important to God. Alternate translation: “Sacrifices and other offerings are not the things that delight you most”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

you have opened my ears

(Some words not found in UHB: many you(ms)_have_done/made you(ms) YHWH God_of,my wonders_of,your and,thoughts_of,your toward,us not compare with,you proclaim and,tell numerous too_~_to,count )

Here “ears” refers to the ability to hear. Alternate translation: “you have enabled me to hear your commands”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

you have not required burnt offerings or sin offerings

(Some words not found in UHB: many you(ms)_have_done/made you(ms) YHWH God_of,my wonders_of,your and,thoughts_of,your toward,us not compare with,you proclaim and,tell numerous too_~_to,count )

This is an exaggeration to show that these things were not the most important to God. Alternate translation: “animals burned on the altar and other offerings for our sins are not what you require most”
