Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not 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.

If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the one who redeems you and who fashioned you from the womb]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

נֹטֶ֤ה שָׁמַ֨יִם֙

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

מי את⁠י

מי from,with

Yahweh is using the question form to emphasize that no one was with him when he created the heavens and the earth. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [no one was with me]
