uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּֽי־יָֽרְא֥וּ הַֽ⁠מְיַלְּדֹ֖ת אֶת־הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was that/for/because/then/when feared the,midwives DOM the=ʼElohīm and=he/it_made to/for=them families )

This is the reason for what God did. If it would be more natural in your language, you could rearrange verses 20–21 so that the reason (verses 21) comes before both the general and specific results.

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

וַ⁠יַּ֥עַשׂ לָ⁠הֶ֖ם בָּתִּֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was that/for/because/then/when feared the,midwives DOM the=ʼElohīm and=he/it_made to/for=them families )

This describes the result of the midwives fearing God with a specific statement. If it would be more natural in your language, you could rearrange verses 20–21 so that the reason (verses 21) comes before both the general and specific results.

בָּתִּֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was that/for/because/then/when feared the,midwives DOM the=ʼElohīm and=he/it_made to/for=them families )

Alternate translation: [households]

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
