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 And_he_asked DOM the_men_of her_place_of_her to_say where is_the_cult_prostitute she was_at_Enaim at the_road and_they_said not she_was in_this_place a_cult_prostitute. (GEN 38:21)

OET-RV: 21 so he asked some of the local men, “Where’s the temple prostitute who was at Enaim beside the road?”
 ¶ But they answered, “There’s never been a temple prostitute around here.” (GEN 38:21)

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 ‘וַיֹּאמְרוּ’ (Morphology=C PoS=conjunction
 Morphology=Vqw3mp PoS=qal_verb Type=sequential_imperfect_(wayyiqtol) Person=third Gender=masculine Number=plural) is always and only glossed as ‘and_they_said’.

The various word forms of the root word (lemma) ‘Lemmas=‘וְ’, ‘אָמַר’’ have only one gloss: ‘and=they_said’.
