Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #197027

Key: khaki:verbs.
Bold in each verse marks the word or words linked to that example’s source word, where an alignment is available.
Note: Automatic aligning of the OET-RV to the LV is done by some temporary software, hence the RV alignments are incomplete (and may occasionally be wrong). An unbolded RV line may have no alignment for this word. See the OET key for other text colours and marks.

OET-LV: 17 And_ Dāvid _he/it _said to the_ʼElohīm not I did _I _say to_count (in)_people and_I am_he who I _have _sinned and_exceedingly _(do _evil) I _have _done _evil and_these the_sheep what have _they _done Oh_YHWH god _of_my let _it _be please hand _of_your on_me and_on_the _house _of my _father _of_my and_on_people _of_your not to_a _plague. (CH1 21:17)

OET-RV: 17 Then David asked God, “Wasn’t it me myself who said to count the people? It’s me who disobeyed and clearly did what was wrong, but these sheep, what have they done? Yahweh my god, please direct your punishment against me and my extended family, but don’t continue this deadly disease on your people.” (CH1 21:17)

Note: These word pages enable you to click through to the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (OSHB) that the Open English Translation Old Testament is translated from. The OSHB is based on the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC). (We are still searching for a digitized facsimile of the Leningradensis manuscript that we can easily link to. See this list and this archive for now.) This is all part of the commitment of the Open English Translation team to be transparent about all levels of the Bible translation process right back to the original manuscripts.

The word form ‘הָאֱלֹהִים’ (Morphology=Td PoS=definite_article
Morphology=Ncmpa PoS=common_noun Gender=masculine Number=plural State=absolute) is always and only glossed as ‘the_ʼElohīm’.

The various word forms of the root word (lemma) ‘Lemmas=‘הַ’, ‘אֱלֹהִים’’ have only one gloss: ‘the=ʼElohīm’.
