GEN 1:8 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

וַ⁠יִּקְרָ֧א אֱלֹהִ֛ים

and=he/it_called ʼElohīm

Consider whether it is more natural in your language to begin a new sentence here (with or without a conjunction) or to continue the sentence that began at the end of verse 7. Also see how you translated this phrase in verse 5. Alternate translation: “He called” or “and he called”

לָֽ⁠רָקִ֖יעַ

to_the=firmament

See how you translated this phrase in verses 6 and 7. Alternate translation: “the vast space”

Note 2 topic: translate-key-terms

שָׁמָ֑יִם

heavens

This word probably refers here to the atmosphere above the earth’s surface where clouds are and where birds fly, as well as the space where the sun, moon, and stars are now. Be consistent here with how you translated this term in verse 1.

וַֽ⁠יְהִי עֶ֥רֶב וַֽ⁠יְהִי בֹ֖קֶר

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

See how you translated this sentence in verse 5, and see the note about that there. Alternate translation: “Then evening came, and then morning came,”

Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal

י֥וֹם שֵׁנִֽי

day second

Consider whether it is more natural in your language to use an ordinal number (second) here or a cardinal number (“two”). Alternate translation: “and the second day ended.” or “and that was the end of day two.”
