OET interlinear GEN 5:32

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַֽ⁠יְהִי־נֹ֕חַ בֶּן־חֲמֵ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת שָׁנָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was Noaḩ son_of five hundreds year and=he/it_fathered Noaḩ DOM name_of DOM Ḩām and=DOM Yafet/Yefet/(Japheth) )

Here, a son of 500 years is a common expression that means “was 500 years old.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [And Noah saw his 500th year] or [Noah turned 500 years old]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יּ֣וֹלֶד נֹ֔חַ אֶת־שֵׁ֖ם אֶת־חָ֥ם וְ⁠אֶת־יָֽפֶת

and=he/it_fathered Noaḩ DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was Noaḩ son_of five hundreds year and=he/it_fathered Noaḩ DOM name_of DOM Ḩām and=DOM Yafet/Yefet/(Japheth) )

Noah’s sons were not triplets, but were born in different years after Noah was 500 years old. The way you translate this verse should allow for that meaning.

וַ⁠יּ֣וֹלֶד נֹ֔חַ

and=he/it_fathered Noaḩ

Consider again how you translated fathered in this chapter; see verses 4, 6–7, 9–10, 12–13, 15–16, 18–19, 25–26, 28, 30, 32. Alternate translation: [he fathered]
