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: 16 thus YHWH he_says stand at the_roads and_look and_ask of_paths_of ancient_time where this is_the_way_of (the)_good and_walk in_it and_find rest for_self_of_your(pl) and_they_said not we_will_walk. (JER 6:16)

OET-RV: 16 Yahweh says this:
 ⇔ Stand at the crossroads and look,
 ⇔ and ask about the ancient paths.
 ⇔ ‘Where is the path of the good?’ Then walk along it
 ⇔ and find rest for your spirit.
 ¶ But they say, ‘We won’t walk on it.’ (JER 6:16)

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 ‘וַיֹּאמְרוּ’ (Morphology=C PoS=conjunction
 Morphology=Vqw3mp PoS=qal_verb Type=sequential_imperfect_(wayyiqtol) Person=third Gender=masculine Number=plural) is always and only glossed as ‘and_they_said’.

The various word forms of the root word (lemma) ‘Lemmas=‘וְ’, ‘אָמַר’’ have only one gloss: ‘and=they_said’.
