OET interlinear GEN 12:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יַּעֲבֹ֤ר אַבְרָם֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_passed_through Avram on_the=earth until place/spot Shekem until oak/large_tree Mōreh and=the=Kənaˊₐnīte then on_the=earth )

Abram is the only one named here because he is in focus. However, your translation should not sound like he traveled alone in verse 6. Also make sure that the way you begin this verse in your translation fits with the way you ended verse 5. Alternate translation: [Abram went] or [Abram and his family went] or [they went]

בָּ⁠אָ֔רֶץ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_passed_through Avram on_the=earth until place/spot Shekem until oak/large_tree Mōreh and=the=Kənaˊₐnīte then on_the=earth )

See how you translated land in verse 5. Alternate translation: [through that land]

עַ֚ד

until

Alternate translation: [until they arrived at]

Note 2 topic: translate-unknown

עַ֖ד אֵל֣וֹן מוֹרֶ֑ה

until oak/large_tree Mōreh

Moreh is probably the name of the person who owned the land where the terebinth tree was. A terebinth tree is a large, broadleaf, flowering tree in the cashew family that can grow to a height of 5 to 12 meters (16 to 40 feet). The Hebrew words for “oak” and terebinth are similar, so many translations (including LXX) translate this as “oak tree” here. Notice, however, that oak trees and terebinth trees are from two different families of trees.

וְ⁠הַֽ⁠כְּנַעֲנִ֖י אָ֥ז בָּ⁠אָֽרֶץ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_passed_through Avram on_the=earth until place/spot Shekem until oak/large_tree Mōreh and=the=Kənaˊₐnīte then on_the=earth )

For some languages it is clearer and more natural to put the time phrase at that time first in this sentence. Alternate translation: [At that time the Canaanites were still living in that region]
