TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:3 The Hebrew idiom under the sun is used twenty-nine times in Ecclesiastes. The NLT sometimes renders it with expressions such as “here on earth” (2:18) or “in this world” (2:20). It suggests a view of life that is earthbound rather than reflecting God’s perspective.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) What profit does mankind gain … under the sun?

(Some words not found in UHB: what? gain have_the,man in=all toil,his which,toils below/instead_of the,sun )

The author uses this rhetorical question to emphasize that man’s work is pointless and has no lasting benefit. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “Mankind gains no profit … under the sun.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) under the sun

(Some words not found in UHB: what? gain have_the,man in=all toil,his which,toils below/instead_of the,sun )

This refers to things that are done on earth. Alternate translation: “on the earth”
