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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
וְלִמְשֹׁל֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם וּבַלַּ֔יְלָה
and=to=rule in_the=day and=in_the=night
Make sure that your translation of the word day refers here to the daytime hours, not an entire 24-hour day. Also see how you translated rule in 1:16. Alternate translation: “and to dominate the daytime or the nighttime,” or “and to shine during the daytime and during the nighttime,”
וּֽלֲהַבְדִּ֔יל בֵּ֥ין הָא֖וֹר וּבֵ֣ין הַחֹ֑שֶׁךְ
and=to=separate between the=light and=between the=darkness
Consider again how you translated separate in verses 4, 6-7, 14 and 18. Alternate translation: “and to distinguish the light from the darkness.” or “and to separate the time of light from the time of darkness.”
וַיַּ֥רְא אֱלֹהִ֖ים
and=he/it_saw ʼElohīm
Alternate translation: “And he saw” or “He saw”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
כִּי טֽוֹב
that/for/because/then/when good
Some languages need to specify what was good. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “that what he had made was good” or “that the lights in the sky were good”
