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.

JER 31:28 contextual word gloss=‘I_will_keep_watch’ word gloss=‘watch’ OSHB JER 31:28 word 11

OET-LV: 28 And_it _was just_as I _kept _watch over_them to_pluck _up and_to_pull _down and_to_tear _down and_to_destroy and_to_do _harm so I _will _keep _watch over_them to_build and_to_plant the _utterance _of YHWH. (JER_31:28)

OET-RV: 28 Just like how I supervised them to uproot and tear down,
⇔ and to overthrow and destroy and do harm,
⇔ now I’ll keep watch as they build and plant.
§ That is Yahweh’s declaration. (JER 31:28)
