OET interlinear ACTs 10:16

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦτο & ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τρίς

this & became for thrice

This could mean: (1) that the voice told Peter three times to kill and eat, Peter refused three times, and each time the voice told him not to call unclean what God had cleansed. Alternate translation: “Peter had this exchange with the voice three times” (2) that after Peter first refused, the voice said to him three times, “What God has cleansed, you must not make common.” Alternate translation: “the voice said this three times” You may find it simplest to say, “This happened three times,” as UST does.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἀνελήμφθη τὸ σκεῦος

/was/_taken_up the object

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “it appeared as if someone was pulling the container back up”
