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. 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.

beams house,our cedars (Some words not found in UHB: beams house,our cedars rafters,our cypresses )
Here the woman is speaking of the forest as if it were a house, the cedar trees as if they were the beams of the house, and the pine trees as if they were the rafters of the house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly or use a simile, as modeled by the UST. Alternate translation: “Our meeting place is shaded by cedar and pine trees” or “Branches of cedar and pine trees will be a canopy over our meeting place”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
בְּרוֹתִֽים
cypresses
The Hebrew word that the ULT translates as pine refers to a tall evergreen tree that is either a fir tree or a pine tree. This type of tree would provide a dense covering that would act like the rafters of a roof. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of tree, you could use the name of a tall tree in your area that has many leaves and would provide shade from the sun or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “tall leafy trees”
