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 for doing comparisons of different translations.

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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

24:21-22 Now swear to me . . . you will not kill my family: Having descendants was a way that Saul’s name would endure among the living. David had already sworn such an oath with Jonathan (20:14-17).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) you will not cut off my descendants after me

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now see/lo/see! I_know that/for/because/then/when to_be_king you_will_be_king and,established in/on/at/with,hand,your kingdom Yisrael )

“you will not kill my sons and their families.” It was common for a new king who was not from the previous family line to kill off all the children of the former king to prevent any of them from challenging him for the throne.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) you will not destroy my name out of my father’s house

(Some words not found in UHB: and=now see/lo/see! I_know that/for/because/then/when to_be_king you_will_be_king and,established in/on/at/with,hand,your kingdom Yisrael )

It is important for each family in Israel to have descendants from generation to generation carrying on the family name and land inheritance. Alternate translation: “you will not destroy my family and descendants” or “you will allow my family to live”
