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: 20 And_he/it_was just_as_they_came Shomrōn and_ ʼElīshāˊ _he/it_said Oh_YHWH open DOM the_eyes_of these_men so_that_they_may_see and_ YHWH _he_opened DOM eyes_of_their and_they_saw and_BEHOLD/LO/SEE in_the_middle of_Shomrōn. (KI2 6:20)

OET-RV: 20 and when they’d entered the city, Elisha said, “Yahweh, open the eyes of these people so they can see.” So Yahweh opened their eyes, and then they were stunned to see that they were in the middle of Shomron. (KI2 6:20)

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 ‘וַיְהִי’ (Morphology=C PoS=conjunction
 Morphology=Vqw3ms PoS=qal_verb Type=sequential_imperfect_(wayyiqtol) Person=third Gender=masculine Number=singular) is always and only glossed as ‘and_he / it_was’.

The various word forms of the root word (lemma) ‘Lemmas=‘וְ’, ‘הָיָה’’ have only one gloss: ‘and=he/it_was’.
