Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #300935

הַבְדֵּלIsa 56

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.

Only use of identical word form ‘הַבְדֵּל’ (Morphology=Vha PoS=hiphil_verb Type=infinitive_absolute) in the Hebrew originals

The word form ‘הַבְדֵּל’ (Morphology=Vha PoS=hiphil_verb Type=infinitive_absolute) is always and only glossed as ‘surely_(separate)’.

ISA 56:3 contextual word gloss=‘surely_(separate)’ word gloss=‘to_exclude’ OSHB ISA 56:3 word 9

OET-RV:  ⇔  3Don’t let the son of any foreigner who’s decided to follow Yahweh,
 ⇔ say, ‘Yahweh will certainly separate me out from his people.’
