GEN 5:2 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 as a tool 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.

See how you translated this clause in Genesis [1:27](../1/27.md).

וַ⁠יְבָ֣רֶךְ אֹתָ֗⁠ם

and=he/it_blessed DOM=them

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Also see how you translated blessed in Genesis [1:22](../1/22.md) and [1:28](../1/28.md). It may be necessary to translate this term in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: [He blessed them] or [He said that he would make them prosper]

Note 1 topic: translate-names

וַ⁠יִּקְרָ֤א אֶת־שְׁמָ⁠ם֙

and=he/it_called DOM their=name

See how you translated the phrase “called … name” in Genesis [4:17](../4/17.md) and [4:25,](../4/25.md). Alternate translation: [and called them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

בְּ⁠י֖וֹם הִבָּֽרְאָֽ⁠ם

in/on=day to_create=them

Consider what is the best way to translate this passive clause in your language. Also, for some languages it is clearer or more natural to put this clause earlier in this verse and say, “and on the same day that he created them, he blessed them and called/named them human beings.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: [on the same day that they were created by him]
