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: 16 And_it _was if really _(learn) they _will _learn DOM the _ways _of my _people _of_my to_swear by_name _of_my by_the _life of_YHWH just_as they _taught DOM people _of_my to_swear by_Baˊal and_they _will _be _built in _the_middle people _of_my. (JER_12:16)

OET-RV: 16 If they’ll properly learn the ways of my people, to make promises using my name saying, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ instead of how my people were taught to make promises by Baal, then they’ll prosper and be my people again. (JER 12:16)
