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.

OET-RV: 15 Did I begin to inquire for him from God today? Far be it from me! Don’t let the king accuse his servant or any of my father’s household, because your servant doesn’t know about any of this—nothing at all.” (SA1 22:15)
