Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #21295

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: 38 And_he/it _said not son _of_my he _will _go _down with_you(pl) if/because his/its_brother he _has _died and_he for_him/it_being _alone is_remaining and_it_will _happen _to _him harm on_journey which you(pl)_will _go on_it and_you(pl)_will _cause _to _go _down DOM hair _of_my _grey in_sorrow Shəʼōl_to. (GEN 42:38)

OET-RV: 38 “My son will not go with you,” Yacob countered, “because his brother is dead, and he alone is left. And if harm were to meet him on the road that you’re going on, then you’d bring my grey head down to the grave in grief.” (GEN 42:38)

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 ‘אָחִיו’ (Morphology=Ncmsc PoS=common_noun Gender=masculine Number=singular State=construct
Morphology=Sp3ms PoS=pronominal_suffix Person=third Gender=masculine Number=singular) is always and only glossed as ‘his / its_brother’.

The various word forms of the root word (lemma) ‘Lemmas=‘אָח’, ‘הוּא’’ have only one gloss: ‘his/its=brother’.
