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 / ellipsis

וְ⁠לַ⁠חֲרֹ֤שׁ חֲרִישׁ⁠וֹ֙ וְ⁠לִ⁠קְצֹ֣ר קְצִיר֔⁠וֹ וְ⁠לַ⁠עֲשׂ֥וֹת כְּלֵֽי־מִלְחַמְתּ֖⁠וֹ וּ⁠כְלֵ֥י רִכְבּֽ⁠וֹ

and,to,plow ground_of,his and,to,reap harvest_of,his and,to,make vessels_of war_of,his and,equipment_of chariots_of,his

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and he will force some of them to plow his fields and harvest his crops, and he will force others to make weapons for his army and equipment for his chariots]

Note 2 topic: writing-poetry

וְ⁠לַ⁠חֲרֹ֤שׁ חֲרִישׁ⁠וֹ֙ וְ⁠לִ⁠קְצֹ֣ר קְצִיר֔⁠וֹ

and,to,plow ground_of,his and,to,reap harvest_of,his

For emphasis, Samuel is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [and to do all his plowing and all his harvesting]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

רִכְבּֽ⁠וֹ

chariots_of,his

Samuel is not referring to a specific chariot. He means chariots in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [his chariots]
