GEN 15:6 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—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠הֶאֱמִ֖ן

and,he_believed

Make sure it is clear in your translation that Abram is the subject in the first phrase of this verse, not Yahweh (who was the last subject in verse 5). Many translations omit the conjunction And here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: [Abram believed Yahweh] or [He believed what Yahweh said to him]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יַּחְשְׁבֶ֥⁠הָ לּ֖⁠וֹ צְדָקָֽה

and=he/it_considered=her/it for=him/it righteousness

Notice that Yahweh, referred to as he, is now the subject again. Make sure it is clear in your translation who is speaking to whom here and throughout this section. Alternate translation: [and so Yahweh credited it to Abram as righteousness] or [and because of that, Yahweh reckoned Abram to be righteous] or [so Yahweh considered Abram to have a right relationship with him]
