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.

This verse could be describing: (1) an action that the man was doing, in which case it should be translated in a similar way to the way that the ULT translates it. (2) a request or wish that the woman has, and not something which has already happened. Alternate translation: “I hope he puts his left arm under my head and holds me close with his right arm” or “I want him to put his left arm under my head and hold me close with his right arm”
