Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #169113

Key: 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: 14 And_he/it _said exceedingly _(be _zealous) I _have _been _zealous to/for_YHWH the _god _of soldiers/messengers if/because the _people _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) they _have _abandoned covenant _of_your DOM altars _of_your they _have _torn _down and_DOM prophets _of_your they _have _killed with_sword and_ I _I _am _left I_alone and_they_have_sought DOM life _of_my to_take_it _away. (KI1 19:14)

OET-RV: 14 “I’ve been very zealous for you, Commander-in-chief Yahweh,” he replied, “But the Israeli people have abandoned your agreement, and they’ve torn down your altars and killed your prophets with the sword. So here I am, left by myself while meanwhile they’re trying to kill me.” (KI1 19:14)

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.

Morphology=Vpw3mp PoS=piel_verb Type=sequential_imperfect_(wayyiqtol) Person=third Gender=masculine Number=plural) is always and only glossed as ‘and, they_have_sought’.
