UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

הַ⁠דְּבָרִ֖ים

the,words

Words here are spoken of as if they were something that can be physically placed in a person’s mouth. If your readers would not understand what this image means in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the message that he is to repeat”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠אָנֹכִ֗י אֶֽהְיֶ֤ה עִם־פִּ֨י⁠ךָ֙ וְ⁠עִם־פִּ֔י⁠הוּ

and,I be with mouth,your and,with mouth,his

The word mouth here represents Moses’ and Aaron’s choice of words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “And I will be with you as you speak and with him as he speaks”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

אֶתְ⁠כֶ֔ם & תַּעֲשֽׂוּ⁠ן

DOM,you_all & do,

These refer to Moses and Aaron. If your language uses different forms of “you” depending on the number of people addressed, use a dual form if you have one or, if not, use a plural.
