Open English Translation (OET)

Hebrew wordlink #139054

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: 34 And_but by_the _life of_YHWH the _god _of Yisrā^ʼēl/(Israel) who he_has _restrained _me from_doing _harm _to you if/because if _not you _had _made _haste and to_meet_me if/because if he _has _been _left to_Nāⱱāl until the _light _of the _morning one _who_urinates on_a_wall. (SA1 25:34)

OET-RV: 34 Yes indeed, as Yahweh lives, Yisrael’s god prevented me from harming you. If you hadn’t hurried here to meet me, certainly neither Nabal nor any of his older or young men would have survived to see the morning light. (SA1 25:34)

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 ‘בְּקִיר’ (Morphology=R PoS=preposition

The various word forms of the root word (lemma) ‘Lemmas=‘בְּ’, ‘קִיר’’ have 3 different glosses: ‘[was]_in,the_wall_of’, ‘in,the_wall_of’, ‘on,a_wall’.
