וַֽיְהִ֖י
and=he/it_was
This phrase focuses attention on an important event (the beginning of the flood), and it builds suspense so that readers and listeners wonder what will happen next. Consider what is the best way to do that in your language. Alternate translation: “Then”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לְשִׁבְעַ֣ת הַיָּמִ֑ים
after,seven the=days
This phrase refers to the seven days which God talked about in verse 4. It does not mean seven days after Noah and the animals went into the ark (verses 7-9); they went into the ark on the same day that the flood started (verse 13). Translate the beginning of this sentence in a way that makes that clear. Alternate translation: “after seven days,”
וּמֵ֣י הַמַּבּ֔וּל הָי֖וּ עַל
and,waters the=flood they_were on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in
Alternate translation: “the floodwaters started to come on” or “water started to cover”
הָאָֽרֶץ
the=earth/land
Alternate translation: “the whole earth.”
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.
