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.

OET-LV: 17 And_he _told to/for_her/it DOM all _of his/its_heart and_he/it _said to/for_her/it a _razor not it _has _come _up on my_head if/because am_a _Nāzīr _of god I from_the _womb _of my _mother _of_my if I _was _shaved and_it _will _depart from_me strength _of_my and_I _will _be _weak and_I _will _be like_every _of the_humankind. (JDG_16:17)

OET-RV: 17 So finally he told her his secret, “My hair has never been cut because I’ve been a Nazirite to God since my birth. If my head would be shaved, then my strength would leave me, and I’d become weak—I’d be just like any other man.” (JDG 16:17)
