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.

(KI2_5:7)

OET-RV: 7 However when Yisrael’s king read the letter, he tore his clothes in despair, and he said, “Do they think that I’m God who ends people’s lives and gives life to others? Why’s this person sending a man here for me to take away his skin disease? Surely he must be creating a situation so he has an excuse to attack me!” (KI2 5:7)
