OET interlinear MAT 2:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸν χρόνον τοῦ φαινομένου ἀστέρος

the time ˱of˲_the appearing star

Here, Matthew is using the possessive form to describe the time when the star appeared. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the time at which the star appeared”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ἠκρίβωσεν παρ’ αὐτῶν τὸν χρόνον τοῦ φαινομένου ἀστέρος.

ascertained from them the time ˱of˲_the appearing star

It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “inquired from them, ‘What was the time of the appearing of the star?’”
