Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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 Bible-translators and others 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 early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

2.1 Igitur perfecti sunt cœli et terra, etc. ALCUIN., in Gen. tom. 1, col. 517 Nullo modo dici potest quomodo fecit Deus cœlum et terram. Sed hæc expositio per ordinem dierum indicat tanquam historiam factarum rerum, sed maxime observat prædicationem futurorum, etc., usque ad quem Dominus utiliter latere monstravit. Igitur perfecti sunt cœli, et terra, et omnis ornatus eorum. AUG., de Gen. contra Manich., lib. 1, c. ult. Allegorice. Post illorum quasi sex dierum opera valde bona speret homo requiem perpetuam, et intelligat quid sit, et requievit Deus die septimo ab operibus suis: quia et ipse in nobis hæc bona operatur, qui jubet ut operemur. Et recte quiescere dicitur: quia post hæc omnia opera requiem nobis præstabit, quomodo paterfamilias domum ædificat, cum servientibus facere imperat; et post ab operibus requiescere, cum, perfecta fabrica, jubet quiescere. AUG., ibid. Habet unusquisque nostrum in suis operibus et recta vita tanquam distinctos istos sex dies, post quos debeat quietem sperare: primo die lucem fidei, quando primum visibilibus credit, propter quam fidem Dominus visibiliter apparere dignatus est. Secundo die factum est tanquam firmamentum disciplinæ, quod discernit inter carnalia et spiritualia opera, sicut firmamentum inter inferiores aquas et superiores. Tertio die quo mentem suam ad proferendos bonorum operum fructus præparat, et erigit, separata labe et fluctibus tentationum carnalium, tanquam aridam habet mentem a perturbationibus maris, ut jam possit dicere: Mente servio legi Dei, etc. Rom. 7.


2.1 Therefore perfect are heavens and earth/land, etc. ALCUIN., in/into/on Gen. tom. 1, col. 517 With_no_one just/only to_be_said can how he_did God sky and the_earth/land. But these_things exposition through order days indicates as_if history done things, but especially/most observes preaching future, etc., until to which Master usefully/profitably on_the_side showed. Therefore perfect are heavens, and earth/land, and everyone adorned their. AUG., from/about Gen. on_the_contrary Manichaeans., lib. 1, c. last. Allegorically. After of_them as_if six days works very_much good(s) hope(v) man rest/repose perpetual, and understand what be, and rested God day seventh away works to_his_own: because and exactly_that/himself in/into/on us these_things good(s) works, who/which commands as we_may_work.

AUG., there. Has each_one/everybody our in/into/on to_his_own works and straight life as_if distinct these six days, after which should rest(n) to_hope: at_first day the_light of_faith, when first visible credit, because how faith Master visibly to_appear deemed_worthy it_is.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יְכֻלּ֛וּ הַ⁠שָּׁמַ֥יִם וְ⁠הָ⁠אָ֖רֶץ

and=they_were_completed (Some words not found in UHB: and=they_were_completed the=heavens and=the=earth and=all their=group/army/objects )

Verse 1 is a summary statement that looks back at what God did in chapter 1. Make sure that is clear in your language. Also consider whether it is better in your language to use an active or passive clause here, and see how you translated “heavens and earth” in 1:1. Alternate translation: [So it was that the heavens and the earth were finished by God] or [That is how God concluded making the heavens and the earth]
