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.

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
אֶת־חַ֠רְבּוֹ מֵעַ֨ל לְמַדָּ֜יו
DOM sword_of,his from=under to,armor_of,his
The first pronoun his refers to Saul, while the second his refers to David. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Saul’s sword over the garments he was wearing]
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וַיֹּ֣אֶל לָלֶכֶת֮ כִּ֣י לֹֽא־נִסָּה֒ & לֹ֥א אוּכַ֛ל לָלֶ֥כֶת בָּאֵ֖לֶּה כִּ֣י לֹ֣א נִסִּ֑יתִי
and,tried to=go that/for/because/then/when not used_to & not able to=go in/on/at/with,these that/for/because/then/when not used_to
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [and because he had not tested them, he tried to walk … because I have not tested them, I am not able to walk with these]
