Key: C 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: 24 for_so/thus/hence as_ a_tongue_of fire _consumes stubble and_dry_grass a_flame it_sinks_down root_of_their like_rottenness it_will_be and_blossom_of_their like_dust it_will_go_up if/because they_have_rejected DOM the_law_of YHWH soldiers/messengers and_DOM the_message_of the_holy_one_of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) they_have_spurned. (ISA 5:24)

OET-RV: 24 Therefore, the roots of their families will rot,
 ⇔ ≈ and their flowers will flower away like dust
 ⇔ just like how a tongue of fire devours stubble in a field
 ⇔ ≈ and the dry grass goes up in flame,
 ⇔ because they’ve rejected Commander-in-chief Yahweh’s instructions,
 ⇔ ≈ and they’ve despised the message from the holy one of Yisrael. (ISA 5:24)

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 ‘לָכֵן’ (Morphology=R PoS=preposition
 Morphology=D PoS=adverb) is always and only glossed as ‘for_so / thus / hence’.

The various word forms of the root word (lemma) ‘Lemmas=‘לָכֵן’, ‘כֵּן’’ have 2 different glosses: ‘=therefore’, ‘for=so/thus/hence’.
