Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #134121

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: 39 And_ Dāvid _he _girded DOM sword _of_his from_under (to)_garments _of_his and_he _undertook to_go if/because not he _had _put _to _the _test and_ Dāvid _he/it_said to Shāʼūl not I _will _be _able to_go in_these_things if/because not I _have _put _to _the _test and_he_removed _them Dāvid from_on_himself. (SA1 17:39)

OET-RV: 39 David strapped his sword over the top and then tried to walk because he hadn’t been trained in wearing it. But he told Sha’ul, “I couldn’t walk in all that without practice,” so he took it all off. (SA1 17:39)

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 ‘וַיֹּאמֶר’ (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_said’.

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