1.31 Viditque Deus, etc. AUG., ibid. Quæritur, cum singillatim cætera bona dicantur, cur homo ad imaginem Dei factus cum cæteris hoc dicatur? Sed forte præsciebat Deus eum peccaturum, nec in perfectione imaginis mansurum. Qui enim singillatim bonus est, magis cum omnibus, sed non convertitur. Cautum est ergo ut diceretur, quod in præsenti verum esset, et præscientiam futuri significaret. Deus autem omnia ordinavit, ut si qua singillatim fuerint delinquendo deformia, semper tamen cum eis universitas sit formosa. Et factum est vespere et mane, etc. ISID., in Gen., tom. 5, col. 207 Mane sexti diei fit prædicatio Evangelii per Christum, etc., usque ad qui vesperam non habet. Moraliter. AUG., de Gen. contra Manich., lib. I in fine. Sexto die producit terra animam vivam, id est, homo de stabilitate suæ mentis, ubi habet fructus spirituales, id est, bonas cogitationes; omnes motus animi sui regit, ut sit in illo anima viva, id est, rationi et justitiæ serviens, non terrenitati et peccato. Ita fit homo ad imaginem et similitudinem Dei, masculus et femina; id est, intellectus et actio: quorum copulatione spiritualis fetus terram impleat, id est, carnem subjiciat, et cætera quæ jam in hominis perfectione dicta sunt. In istis namque diebus vespera est ipsa perfectio singulorum operum, et mane inchoatio sequentium.

1.31 Viditque God, etc. AUG., ibid. Quæritur, when/with singillatim cætera good dicantur, cur human to imaginem God factus when/with cæteris hoc dicatur?

UTN uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יַּ֤רְא אֱלֹהִים֙

and=he/it_saw ʼₑlhīmv

See how you translated “God saw …” in verse 4. Alternate translation: “Then God observed”

אֶת כָּל אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔ה

DOM all/each/any/every which/who he/it_had_made

This phrase refers to everything that God made during the entire week of Creation, not just on the sixth day. Consider again how you translated made (or “make”) in verses 7, 16, 25, 26 and 31. Compare that to how you translated a word that has a similar meaning (“created”) in verses 1, 21 and 27. Alternate translation: “everything that he had created,”

וְ⁠הִנֵּה

and=see/lo/see!

This word calls attention to what God is looking at and helps emphasize that what he saw was very good. Alternate translation: “and indeed” or “and he saw that”

ט֖וֹב מְאֹ֑ד

good very

Consider again how you translated “good/excellent” in verses 4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, and 31. Alternate translation: “it was all very good”

וַֽ⁠יְהִי עֶ֥רֶב וַֽ⁠יְהִי בֹ֖קֶר

and=he/it_was evening and=he/it_was morning

Consider again how you translated these phrases in verses 5, 8, 13, 19, 23, and 31, and see the note about that at verse 5. Alternate translation: “Then evening came, and then morning came,”

Note 1 topic: translate-ordinal

י֥וֹם הַ⁠שִּׁשִּֽׁי

day the=sixth

Alternate translation: “and the sixth day ended.” or “and that was the end of day six.”
