RBT Paraphrase:
The Target
And he is saying, "What have I missed?3 For your eternal self has given the self eternal slave of yourself into a hand of Brother of Father to cause me to die!"Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And he will say, What did I sin that thou gavest thy servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me?
And he will say, What did I sin that thou gavest thy servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me?
LITV Translation:
And he said, What have I sinned, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me?
And he said, What have I sinned, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me?
Brenton Septuagint Translation:
And Obadiah said, What sin have I committed, that thou givest thy servant into the hand of Ahab to slay me?
And Obadiah said, What sin have I committed, that thou givest thy servant into the hand of Ahab to slay me?
Footnotes
| 1Ki. 18:9 | 1Ki. 18:9 The Hebrew phrase איך חטאתי would be the more appropriate construction for the translation, "How did I miss/sin?", combining the interrogative איך ("how") with the first-person singular perfect form חטאתי ("I sinned"). This construction emphasizes the manner or way in which the sin/miss was done, distinguishing it from "מה חטאתי?", which asks "What did I sin/miss?" |
