Note 1 topic: translate-ordinal
בִּשְׁנַ֨ת שֵׁשׁ־מֵא֤וֹת שָׁנָה֙ לְחַיֵּי נֹ֔חַ
in=year six hundreds year of,life Noḩa
Compare how you translated Noah’s age in verse 6.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
בַּחֹ֨דֶשׁ֙ הַשֵּׁנִ֔י בְּשִׁבְעָֽה עָשָׂ֥ר י֖וֹם לַחֹ֑דֶשׁ
in/on/at/with,month the=second in/on/at/with,seven ten day of_the,month
For some languages it is more natural to switch the phrase order and say which day it is before giving the month. Do what is natural in your language.
בַּיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֗ה
in_the=day the=this
Alternate translation: “on that same day” or “that is the day when”
כָּֽל מַעְיְנֹת֙
all/each/any/every fountains
Alternate translation: “all the underground water sources”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
נִבְקְעוּ֙
burst_forth
For some languages it may be more natural to put this phrase earlier and say, “water started gushing/pouring out of all the fountains/springs in the deep ocean,” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “split open,” or “started gushing out water,”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וַאֲרֻבֹּ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם נִפְתָּֽחוּ
and,floodgates the=heavens opened
This metaphor describes the beginning of a very heavy rainfall; it does not refer to actual windows. Alternate translation: “and all the windows in the sky were opened by God,” or “God also caused the water in the heavens to start coming down, as if he had opened huge faucets in the heavens”
7:11-12 on the seventeenth day of the second month: Such information gives the flood account a certain solemnity; it reminds readers that this was a true historical event.
• underground waters: See 2:6.
• rain fell: The flood undid the boundaries established on the second and third days of creation (1:6-13). Elsewhere, the Bible describes God’s judgment as an undoing of creation (see Jer 4:23-26; Amos 7:4).
• forty days and forty nights: See study note on 7:4.

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.
