Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #209117

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: 37 And_ ʼElīˊezer the _son _of Dōdāvāhū from_Marʼēshāh _he _prophesied on Yəhōshāfāţ to_say as_you_have _made _an _alliance with ʼAḩaz^yāh YHWH he _will _break DOM works _of_your and_ ships _they _were _broken and_not they _retained to_go to Tarshiysh. (CH2 20:37)

OET-RV: 37 Then Dodavahu’s son Eliezer from Mareshah prophesied against Yehoshafat, saying, “When you allied yourself with Ahazyah, Yahweh destroyed what you created.” In due course, the ships were damaged and unable to sail to Tarshish. (CH2 20:37)

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 ‘לֵאמֹר’ (Morphology=R PoS=preposition
Morphology=Vqc PoS=qal_verb Type=infinitive_construct) is always and only glossed as ‘to_say’.

The various word forms of the root word (lemma) ‘Lemmas=‘לְ’, ‘אָמַר’’ have only one gloss: ‘to=say’.
