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.

אֵ֥ת שֶׁאָהֲבָ֖ה נַפְשִׁ֑י
DOM whom,loves soul_of,my
See how you translated the similar phrase “you whom my soul loves” in [1:7](../01/07.md). Alternate translation: [him whom I love]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go
שֶׁ֤הֲבֵיאתִיו֙
when,brought,him
Your language may say “taken” rather than brought in a context such as this. Use whichever is more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [I had taken him]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
שֶׁ֤הֲבֵיאתִיו֙ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית אִמִּ֔י וְאֶל־חֶ֖דֶר הוֹרָתִֽי
when,brought,him to/towards house_of mother's_of,my and=near/to chamber_of conceived_of,me
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. Hebrew poetry was based on this kind of repetition, and it would be good to show this to your readers by including both phrases in your translation rather than combining them. However, if it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the phrases with a word other than “and” in order to show that the second phrase is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternate translation: [I had brought him to the house of my mother; yes, to the room of the woman who had conceived me]
