OET (OET-LV) And dividing tongues as_if of_fire were_seen to_them, and sat_down on each one of_them.

OET (OET-RV) They saw what looked like tongues of fire that kept dividing[fn] and then settling down on each one of them.

uW Translation Notes:

γλῶσσαι ὡσεὶ πυρός

tongues (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὤφθησαν αὐτοῖς διαμεριζόμεναι γλῶσσαι ὡσεί πυρός καί ἐκάθισεν ἐφʼ ἕνα ἕκαστον αὐτῶν)

This phrase means “something like tongues of fire,” and a “tongue of fire” means a “flame of fire.” (The expression is used with that meaning in [Isaiah 5:24](../isa/05/24.md), for example.) This is not a simile. Luke is describing what these objects looked like. Alternate translation: [objects that looked like flames of fire]

διαμεριζόμεναι

dividing

This means that the objects that looked like flames of fire spread out so that there was one on each person. Alternate translation: [spreading around]

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐκάθισεν ἐφ’ ἕνα ἕκαστον αὐτῶν

sat_down on one each ˱of˲_them

The pronoun they refers to the objects, and the pronoun them refers to the disciples. Alternate translation: [one of the objects sat upon each one of the disciples]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐκάθισεν ἐφ’ ἕνα ἕκαστον αὐτῶν

sat_down on one each ˱of˲_them

Luke is using the word sat to indicate that the objects remained in one place once they had spread around. Alternate translation: [one of the objects remained on each one of the disciples]
