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: 11 If/because just_as it _clings (the)_loincloth to the_loins _of a _person so I _have _made _cling to_me DOM all _of the _house _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) and_DOM all _of the _house _of Yəhūdāh the _utterance _of YHWH to_be to_me (into)_a_people and _(into)_a_name and_(into)_praise and_(into)_honour and_not they _listened. (JER_13:11)

OET-RV: 11 Yahweh declares that just like a loincloth is hitched to someone’s hips, so too I’ve made all those from Yisrael and Yehudah cling to me, to be my people who would bring me fame, praise, and honour, but they didn’t listen. (JER 13:11)
