uW Translation Notes:

וְ⁠כ֖וּשׁ יָלַ֣ד אֶת־נִמְרֹ֑ד

and=Kūsh he/it_fathered DOM Nimrōd

See how you translated fathered in Genesis [6:10](../6/10md), and how you translated a phrase in [10:1](../10/1.md) (“were born to”) that has a similar meaning. Your language may have its own terms or expressions for these relationships. Alternate translation: [Cush also fathered a son named Nimrod]

ה֣וּא הֵחֵ֔ל לִֽ⁠הְי֥וֹת

he/it he/it_began to=be

The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “who was the first person/man/one to be” or (2) “who became”

גִּבֹּ֖ר

mighty(ms)

There were other mighty men before Nimrod, but apparently he was the first one to have a kingdom (verse 10). Alternate translation: [a powerful warrior] or [a powerful king]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

בָּ⁠אָֽרֶץ

on_the=earth

For some languages it may be more natural to put this phrase earlier and say, “who was the first person/man on earth to be/become a powerful ruler/warrior.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: [in the world]

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.
