OET (OET-LV) And whenever he_opened_up the seal the seventh, became silence in the heaven for_about an_half_hour.

OET (OET-RV) Then the lamb broke the seventh seal and there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–5: The Lamb opened the last seal, and an angel offered incense

In this section, the Lamb opened the seventh seal and heaven was quiet for half an hour. Then seven angels were each given trumpets. Another angel came to the altar with a bowl for burning incense. He was given incense and offered it on the altar. The angel then used the bowl to gather burning coals from the altar. He threw the burning coals upon the earth.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

The Seventh Seal (GNT)

The Seventh Seal and the Golden Censer (NRSV)

8:1a

When the Lamb opened the seventh seal,

opened: Here the word opened refers to breaking the last drop of wax that sealed the scroll. See how you translated this word in 6:1 or 6:12.

seventh: The word seventh here refers to the next item after the sixth one. If counted, this item would be counted as number seven. Here it also refers to the last of the seven items. Use the word or phrase that is natural in your language. For example:

the one after the other six

the one after the six of them

last

seal: A seal indicates that only those with the proper authority are allowed to open the thing with the seal on it. See how you translated this word in 5:1 or 6:12.

8:1b

there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

there was silence in heaven: This clause indicates that heaven was quiet. There was no noise. Other ways to translate this clause are:

all in heaven was silent

heaven became quiet

about half an hour: The word hour refers to a period of time. There are twenty-four hours in one day. The phrase half an hour refers to half of the time referred to by the word hour. Some languages do not have a word or phrase for the meaning of half an hour. If that is true in your language, you may want to:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

ἤνοιξεν

˱he˲_opened_up

The pronoun he refers to the Lamb. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the Lamb opened]

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

τὴν σφραγῖδα τὴν ἑβδόμην

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὅταν ἤνοιξεν τήν σφραγῖδα τήν ἑβδόμην ἐγένετο σιγή ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ὡς ἡμίωρον)

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you can use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [seal number seven] or [the last seal]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὡς ἡμιώριον

˱for˲_about (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὅταν ἤνοιξεν τήν σφραγῖδα τήν ἑβδόμην ἐγένετο σιγή ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ ὡς ἡμίωρον)

An hour was the shortest interval of time that this culture measured. So half an hour may implicitly mean just a short time. You could indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [for a moment]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:1 The opening of the seventh seal concludes the first act and dramatically initiates silence, which suggests the mystery of God in his dealings with the world (10:4; 1 Kgs 19:11-12). Perhaps the mysterious silence here is analogous to God’s rest on the seventh day of creation (Gen 2:1-3; see also Heb 4:1-11).
• half an hour: This brief hush precedes the unfolding of the second act of divine judgment when God will answer the prayers of his people.
