OET interlinear HEB 11:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸν θυμὸν τοῦ βασιλέως

˱of˲_the rage ˱of˲_the king

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of wrath, you could express the idea by using an adjective such as “angry” or “furious.” Alternate translation: [how furious the king was]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word for introduces a reason why Moses left Egypt behind and did not fear the wrath of the king. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis. Alternate translation: [since]

ὡς ὁρῶν

as seeing

Here, the word translated as if could indicate that Moses: (1) did not actually “see” God but rather acted like he could. Alternate translation: [as though he could see] (2) did “see” God and acted as one who could do so. Alternate translation: [as one who could see]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

τὸν & ἀόρατον ὡς ὁρῶν

˱of˲_the & invisible_‹one› as seeing

Here the author compares the way that Moses endured to how someone who was seeing the unseen one would endure. The author’s point is that Moses endured because he was totally sure that God was trustworthy, as sure as if God were right beside him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the comparison more explicit. Alternate translation: [as one who could see the unseen one endures]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν & ἀόρατον

˱of˲_the & invisible_‹one›

Here, the audience would have known that the unseen one is God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make who the unseen one is more explicit. Alternate translation: [the unseen God]
