Throughout this section, make sure that names and pronouns (like he) are used in a way that is accurate and natural in your language, so that it is always clear who is being referred to. Alternate translation: “After he had Arphaxad, he lived” or “After Arphaxad was born, Shem lived”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
חֲמֵ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת שָׁנָ֑ה
five hundreds year
See how you translated Gen 5:7, which has the same sentence structure as 11:11. For some languages, it may be more natural to change the clause order of this sentence and say, “Shem lived 500 more years after Arpachshad/Arphaxad was born …” Do what is best in your language throughout this chapter. Alternate translation: “500 more years,”
וַיּ֥וֹלֶד
and=he/it_fathered
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. See how you translated this phrase and the following one in Gen 5:4. Alternate translation: “and he also had” or “Shem also had” or “He was also the father of”
בָּנִ֖ים וּבָנֽוֹת
sons and=daughters
Alternate translation: “other sons as well as daughters.”
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_lived Shem after fathering_by_him/it DOM ʼArppaksad five hundred(s) year[s] and_he/it_fathered sons and_daughters.
OET (OET-RV) After Arpakshad was born, Shem lived another 500 years and had other sons and daughters.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
