Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
וַיִּקְרָ֧א אֱלֹהִ֛ים
and=he/it_called ʼₑlhīmv
Consider whether it is more natural in your language to begin a new sentence here (with or without a conjunction) or to continue the sentence that began at the end of verse 7. Also see how you translated this phrase in verse 5. Alternate translation: “He called” or “and he called”
לָֽרָקִ֖יעַ
to_the=firmament
See how you translated this phrase in verses 6 and 7. Alternate translation: “the vast space”
Note 2 topic: translate-key-terms
שָׁמָ֑יִם
heavens
This word probably refers here to the atmosphere above the earth’s surface where clouds are and where birds fly, as well as the space where the sun, moon, and stars are now. Be consistent here with how you translated this term in verse 1.
וַֽיְהִי עֶ֥רֶב וַֽיְהִי בֹ֖קֶר
and=he/it_was evening and=he/it_was morning
See how you translated this sentence in verse 5, and see the note about that there. Alternate translation: “Then evening came, and then morning came,”
Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal
י֥וֹם שֵׁנִֽי
day second
Consider whether it is more natural in your language to use an ordinal number (second) here or a cardinal number (“two”). Alternate translation: “and the second day ended.” or “and that was the end of day two.”
1:3-13 In the first three days, God formed the chaos into a habitable world.
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_called god to_the_firmament heaven and_he/it_was evening and_he/it_was morning a_day second.
OET (OET-RV) and he named the space sky. Then evening came, and later morning came, and that was the end of the second day.
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.
