Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֔ים
and=he/it_said ʼElohīm
See how you translated this phrase in verse 3. Alternate translation: “Then God commanded,”
יְהִ֥י רָקִ֖יעַ
let_it_be firmament
The Hebrew word for expanse here describes a large space that is “spread out.” It was not solid, but rather it was open and empty and could be seen through and flown through (verse 20). It was probably also curved, following the spherical shape of the earth. See how you translated Let there be in verse 3. Alternate translation: “Let there be a vast space” or “I command there to be a vast space” or “I command a vast space to form”
בְּת֣וֹךְ הַמָּ֑יִם
in_the=middle the=waters
See how you translated waters in verse 2.
וִיהִ֣י מַבְדִּ֔יל בֵּ֥ין מַ֖יִם לָמָֽיִם
and=let_it_be separating between waters and=waters
Alternate translation: “and let it divide the water above it from the water below it.” or “so that it separates the waters into two different places.”
1:3-13 In the first three days, God formed the chaos into a habitable 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.
