Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #356559

הַמֶּלְצַרDan 1

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 ‘הַמֶּלְצַר’ (Morphology=Td PoS=definite_article
Morphology=Ncmsa PoS=common_noun Gender=masculine Number=singular State=absolute)
is always and only glossed as ‘the_guardian’.

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

Hebrew words (1) other than הַמֶּלְצַר (Morphology=Td PoS=definite_article
