TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:16 The priest of Midian was named Reuel (2:18), but later he is called Jethro (18:1). It was common for a person to have both an official name and a personal name, though in this case it is not clear which is which. Perhaps, like Melchizedek (Gen 14:18), he represented an indigenous religious class that had not fallen prey to a pagan religion. Reuel’s actions in bringing an offering and sacrifices to God (Exod 18:12) suggest that this was so.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וּ⁠לְ⁠כֹהֵ֥ן מִדְיָ֖ן שֶׁ֣בַע בָּנ֑וֹת

and,had,priest Midyān seven daughters

This sentence is background information. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information.

Note 2 topic: writing-newevent

וּ⁠לְ⁠כֹהֵ֥ן מִדְיָ֖ן שֶׁ֣בַע בָּנ֑וֹת

and,had,priest Midyān seven daughters

This sentence marks a scene transition. However, the last clause of the previous verse (“and he sat down by a well”) seems to be related to this new scene, so you may want to make your transition before that, as is done in the UST.

Note 3 topic: writing-participants

בָּנ֑וֹת

daughters

The daughters are new participants. Use the natural form in your language for introducing new characters.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וַ⁠תָּבֹ֣אנָה

and,came

The perspective of the narrative is set at the well. The daughters came from elsewhere to the well. They were probably on foot. Here each language will need to choose the appropriate motion word.
