אַמְרָפֶ֣ל מֶֽלֶךְ
Amraphel king
The term king refers to the highest ruler or leader over a kingdom, which at that time was often just a city, a small region or a people group. Translate this with the best word for that in your language. Also see how you translated Shinar in Gen 10:10; 11:2. Alternate translation: “Amraphel was the ruler over” or “King Amraphel was ruling”
שִׁנְעָ֔ר
Shinar
Alternate translation: “the region of Shinar,”
אַרְי֖וֹךְ מֶ֣לֶךְ
Aryok king
It is not known whether Ellasar was the name of a city or the name of a kingdom that had one or more cities. Alternate translation: “Arioch was the ruler over” or “King Arioch was ruling”
אֶלָּסָ֑ר
Ellasar
Alternate translation: “the kingdom of Ellasar,”

כְּדָרְלָעֹ֨מֶר֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ
Chedorlaomer king
In Hebrew this king’s name is pronounced Kedorlaomer. However in many translations it is spelled “Chedorlaomer”. Be consistent with your choice throughout this chapter. Also, Elam refers to the land where the descendants of Shem’s son Elam lived (Gen 10:22). Alternate translation: “Kedorlaomer was the ruler over” or “King Kedorlaomer was ruling”

Alternate translation: “the land of the Elamites,”

and,Tidal king
Most translation teams transliterate the name “Goyim” (as they do other names in the Bible). Some translations translate its meaning and say, “the nations/peoples.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and Tidal was the ruler over” or “and King Tidal was ruling”

Goiim
Most translation teams transliterate the name “Goyim” (as they do other names in the Bible). Some translations translate its meaning and say “the nations/peoples”. Do what is best in your language.

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.
