GEN 8:2 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 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 some of the same words and phrases in Gen 7:11. Alternate translation: “He also caused the fountains in the deep ocean to stop gushing out water, and he caused the rain to stop pouring from the sky,” or “God also stopped the water from gushing out of springs at the bottom of the ocean, and the rain from coming from the heavens”

Consider whether it is better in your language to use an active or a passive verb here and in the previous clause. Alternate translation: “so that rain stopped falling from the sky.”
