GEN 11:11 Parallel Verse View

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. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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.

and=he/it_lived name_of after fathering=by_him/it DOM Arpakshad

Throughout this section, make sure that names and pronouns (like he) are used in a way that is accurate and natural in your language, so that it is always clear who is being referred to. Alternate translation: “After he had Arphaxad, he lived” or “After Arphaxad was born, Shem lived”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

חֲמֵ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת שָׁנָ֑ה

five hundreds year

See how you translated Gen 5:7, which has the same sentence structure as 11:11. For some languages, it may be more natural to change the clause order of this sentence and say, “Shem lived 500 more years after Arpachshad/Arphaxad was born …” Do what is best in your language throughout this chapter. Alternate translation: “500 more years,”

וַ⁠יּ֥וֹלֶד

and=he/it_fathered

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. See how you translated this phrase and the following one in Gen 5:4. Alternate translation: “and he also had” or “Shem also had” or “He was also the father of”

בָּנִ֖ים וּ⁠בָנֽוֹת

sons and=daughters

Alternate translation: “other sons as well as daughters.”
