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.

OET-LV: 9 And_it _was every _of creature living which it _swarms to every _of where it _will _go there two _rivers it _will _live and_it _was the_fish many very if/because they _have _gone to_(to) the_waters the_these and_they _will _be _healed and_ every _it _will _live where it _will _go to_(to) the_river. (EZE_47:9)

OET-RV: 9 As a result, every kind of living creature that swarms will live where that water flows. There’ll be lots of fish when that water flows into the Dead Sea as it causes the salty water to become fresh water—everything will live wherever that river goes. (EZE 47:9)
