(Occurrence 0) A mist of vapor … everything is vanishing vapor
(Some words not found in UHB: vanity_of vanities he/it_had_said the,Teacher (the),everything Abel )
The Teacher speaks of things as being useless and meaningless as if they were “vapor.” Just as vapor disappears and does not last, the author speaks of things having no lasting value. See how you translated “vapor” in Ecclesiastes 1:14. Alternate translation: [Temporary and useless … everything is temporary and useless] or [Meaningless … everything is meaningless]
(Occurrence 0) the Teacher
(Some words not found in UHB: vanity_of vanities he/it_had_said the,Teacher (the),everything Abel )
See how you translated this in Ecclesiastes 1:1.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
