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: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
אֶת־בְּשָׂ֣רְךָ֔
DOM flesh_of,your
Goliath is using one part of David, his flesh, to mean all of him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [your body]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶת־בְּשָׂ֣רְךָ֔
DOM flesh_of,your
Goliath means that he will give David’s flesh as food to the birds and animals. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [your flesh as food]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
לְע֥וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וּלְבֶהֱמַ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶֽה
to,birds_of the=heavens and,to,beasts_of the=field
Goliath is not referring to specific animals. He means these animals in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: [to the birds of the sky and the wild animals]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לְע֥וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם
to,birds_of the=heavens
This phrase describes birds that fly in the heavens, that is, the sky. In this context, it refers specifically to scavenger birds that would circle in the sky looking for dead animals or people to eat. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [to scavenger birds]
