Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #135613

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: 3 And_he _swore _an _oath again Dāvid and_he/it _said well _(know) father_of_your he _knows if/because _that I _have _found favour in_eyes _of_your and_he/it _said not Yōnātān let _him _know this lest he _should _be _grieved and_but by_the _life of_YHWH and_by_the _life your _self _of_your if/because about_a _step is_between_me and_between (the)_death. (SA1 20:3)

OET-RV: 3 “For sure, your father knows that you’ve taken a liking to me,” said David, “and he would have decided not to tell you so you wouldn’t be upset.” Then David made an oath again, “Indeed, as Yahweh is alive, and as your soul is alive, death is definitely only a step away from me.” (SA1 20:3)

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 ‘אָבִיךָ’ (Morphology=Ncmsc PoS=common_noun Gender=masculine Number=singular State=construct
Morphology=Sp2ms PoS=pronominal_suffix Person=second Gender=masculine Number=singular) is always and only glossed as ‘father_of, your’.

The various word forms of the root word (lemma) ‘Lemmas=‘אָב’, ‘הוּא’’ have 4 different glosses: ‘ancestor_of,your’, ‘father_of,your’, ‘your_ancestor_of,your’, ‘your_father_of,your’.
