This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
11 Therefore I’m asking: Did God push his chosen people away? Not at all, because I’m an Israeli, too, a descendant of Avraham in the tribe of Benyamin.[ref] 2 No, God didn’t push away his people, who he knew before he chose them. Or don’t you know what scripture says about Eliyah (Elijah) pleading with God to deal with Yisrael (Israel)? He said: 3 ‘Yahweh, they killed your prophets and tore down your altars, and I was left alone, and now they want to kill me!’[ref] 4 But what was revealed to him? God said: ‘I’ve kept aside seven thousand others who haven’t worshipped Ba’al.’[ref] 5 So too, at the present time, there’s a small proportion who’ve been chosen by God’s generosity. 6 So if it’s by generosity, then it’s no longer by their actions, otherwise the generosity wouldn’t be generosity at all.
7 What’s the conclusion then? The Israelis didn’t find what they were looking for. Only the chosen ones reached it, and the rest were hardened, 8 just like it was written:
‘God gave them a lethargic spirit:
Eyes which can’t see and ears which can’t hear,
‘Let their table become a trap for them—
a temptation that will pay them back.
10 Let their eyes be darkened so they can’t see,
and their backs be bent through all time.’[ref]
11 So now I ask: didn’t they stumble so that they would fall? Not at all. But because of their disobedience, salvation came to non-Jews in order to make Yehudim (Jews) envious. 12 But if their disobedience led to gain for the rest of the world, and if their loss led to gain for the non-Jews, how much more their fullness?
Php 3:5:
5 I was circumcised as a baby on the eighth day, I’m a descendent of Yisrael (Israel) from the tribe of Benyamin,[ref] I’m more ‘Hebrew’ than most Ivrim (Hebrews), obeyed the law as member of the Farisaios party,[ref]
1Ki 19:10,14:
10 “I’ve been very zealous for you, Commander-in-chief Yahweh,” he replied. “But the Israeli people have abandoned your agreement, and they’ve torn down your altars and killed your prophets with the sword. So here I am, left by myself while meanwhile they’re trying to kill me.”[ref]
14 “I’ve been very zealous for you, Commander-in-chief Yahweh,” he replied, “But the Israeli people have abandoned your agreement, and they’ve torn down your altars and killed your prophets with the sword. So here I am, left by myself while meanwhile they’re trying to kill me.”
1Ki 19:18:
18 But I’ve still got seven thousand people in Yisrael who’ve never bowed to Ba’al or kissed his image.”[ref]
Deu 29:4:
4 ⇔yet up until now, Yahweh hasn’t enabled you all to understand the meaning of everything that you saw and heard.
Isa 29:10:
10 because Yahweh has poured a spirit of deep sleep out onto you all,
and has shut your prophets’ eyes,[ref]
≈ and has covered your visionaries’ heads.
Psa 69:22-23 (LXX):
22 Let their table become a snare to catch them in their own schemes.
≈ When they think they’re safe, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened so they won’t be able to see anything,
