Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

10:21 Shem, the older brother of Japheth, was the father of the Semitic peoples. The descendants listed represent countries east of Israel (modern Iraq, Iran, and Syria). The narrator lists these locations within Mesopotamia since Abram, the father of Israel, originated from this area (see 11:27-32).
• Eber receives special attention because of his connection with Abram (see study note on 10:24).

and,to,Shem he/it_was_born also/yet
In the Hebrew text, to Shem comes first in this sentence after And, to emphasize Shem. Do what is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Shem also fathered some sons”
אֲחִ֖י יֶ֥פֶת הַגָּדֽוֹל
brother Yafet the,older
The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “and his/Shem’s older brother was Japheth.” (2) “and he/Shem was Japheth’s older/oldest brother.”
