In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 21:8 — the whole verse this word appears in — not this word alone. The correspondence is verse-level: no word-level alignment of translations exists for these editions, so we do not claim which English word renders this Arabic word. Compare the editions →
We did not make them mere bodies that ate no food, nor were they immortalWe gave them not bodies that would not eat food, nor were they immortalsWe gave them not bodies which could dispense with food: and they were not to live for everNor did we make them bodies not to eat food, nor were they immortaland not We made a body not they eat the food and not they were abidingsGenerated from a table of word-by-word decisions, not written as prose. Arabic word order is preserved, so it reads stiffly and is not a substitute for a translation written by a person. Every verse is rendered, but the whole remains under review: words marked as judgement rest on weaker evidence than the rest and are flagged in place. No tafsir, hadith or existing translation was consulted.
