Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #16566

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: 21 The_men the_these are_at _peace they with_us and_let _them _dwell in/on _the_earth and_let _them _go _about _in DOM_her/it and_the_earth THERE is_broad _of both _sides before_them DOM daughters _of_their we _will _take to/for_us to_wives and_DOM daughters _of_our we _will _give to/for_them. (GEN 34:21)

OET-RV: 21 “These men are peaceful towards us, so let them settle in the land, and let them trade in it. And look, the land is plenty wide enough for them as well. We can take their daughters for ourselves as wives, and we can give our daughters to them to marry. (GEN 34:21)

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 ‘לָהֶֽם’ (Morphology=R PoS=preposition
Morphology=Sp3mp PoS=pronominal_suffix Person=third Gender=masculine Number=plural) is always and only glossed as ‘to / for_them’.

The various word forms of the root word (lemma) ‘Lemmas=‘לְ’, ‘הוּא’’ have only one gloss: ‘to/for=them’.
