Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #18651

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: 16 And_he_turned_aside to_her/it to the_road and_he/it _said come_NOW please let _me _go into_you if/because not he _knew if/because _that daughter-in-law _of_was_his she and_she/it _said what will _you _give to/for_me that/for/because/then/when you _will _come into_me. (GEN 38:16)

OET-RV: 16 So he turned to her beside the road and asked, “Please let me lie with you,” because he didn’t know that she was his daughter-in-law.
¶ “What will you give me in exchange?” she asked. (GEN 38:16)

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.
