Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #168911

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: 4 And_he he _went in_wilderness a _journey _of a _day and_he _came and_he/it _sat _down//remained//lived under a _broom _plant one and_he _asked DOM self _of_his to_die and_he/it _said enough now Oh_YHWH take life _of_my if/because not am_good I more_than_of_my_ancestors. (KI1 19:4)

OET-RV: 4 Then he went an extra day’s travel further south into the wilderness where he sat down under a broom bush and prayed that he might be allowed to die, saying, “This is now too much, Yahweh. Take my life, because I’m no better than my ancestors.” (KI1 19:4)

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 ‘מֵאֲבֹתָי’ (Morphology=R PoS=preposition
Morphology=Ncmpc PoS=common_noun Gender=masculine Number=plural State=construct
Morphology=Sp1cs PoS=pronominal_suffix Person=first Gender=common Number=singular) is always and only glossed as ‘more, than_of, my_ancestors’.

The various word forms of the root word (lemma) ‘Lemmas=‘מִן’, ‘אָב’, ‘הוּא’’ have only one gloss: ‘more,than_of,my_ancestors’.
