OET interlinear GEN 3:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠תִּפָּקַ֨חְנָה֙ עֵינֵ֣י שְׁנֵי⁠הֶ֔ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_were_opened both_eyes_of both_of=them and=they_knew that/for/because/then/when naked(pl) they and=they_sewed leaf_of fig/fig_tree and=they_made to/for=them aprons )

An immediate result of their sin was that they realized they were naked, which they had not been aware of before. See how you translated the common expression “eyes … opened” in verse [3:5](../03/05.md). Alternate translation: [Immediately it was as if their minds were opened] or [Immediately they both had new understanding]

וַ⁠יֵּ֣דְע֔וּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_were_opened both_eyes_of both_of=them and=they_knew that/for/because/then/when naked(pl) they and=they_sewed leaf_of fig/fig_tree and=they_made to/for=them aprons )

Alternate translation: [so that they became aware]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִּ֥י עֵֽירֻמִּ֖ם הֵ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_were_opened both_eyes_of both_of=them and=they_knew that/for/because/then/when naked(pl) they and=they_sewed leaf_of fig/fig_tree and=they_made to/for=them aprons )

The author assumes that his readers will understand that this sense of nakedness led to a sense of shame. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [that their bodies were bare, and they felt ashamed]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

וַֽ⁠יִּתְפְּרוּ֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_were_opened both_eyes_of both_of=them and=they_knew that/for/because/then/when naked(pl) they and=they_sewed leaf_of fig/fig_tree and=they_made to/for=them aprons )

The word for sewed implies here that some type of needle and thread were used. For example, they may have used a thin, sharpened stick for the needle, and plant fibers for the thread. If necessary, you could use a more general term such as “fastened together” or “connected.” Also, some languages have dual pronouns that can be used in [verses 7–8](../03/07.md) for they and themselves. Alternate translation: [So they joined together]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יַּעֲשׂ֥וּ לָ⁠הֶ֖ם חֲגֹרֹֽת

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_were_opened both_eyes_of both_of=them and=they_knew that/for/because/then/when naked(pl) they and=they_sewed leaf_of fig/fig_tree and=they_made to/for=them aprons )

The narrator assumes that readers will know that these aprons probably covered them from the waist down to somewhere around the knees. Alternate translation: [and used them as aprons to cover their bodies] or [and wore them around their waists to cover their bodies] or [and used them to make clothes for themselves]
