UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּאמְר֣וּ אֵׄלָׄ֔יׄ⁠וׄ

and=they_said to,him

The Hebrew text uses a plural pronoun here (they) to refer to one of the three men who spoke to Abraham on behalf of them all (See verse 10). Many languages can use they or “the men” in the same way. Make sure your translation of this quote margin does not sound like all three of the men spoke at the same time. Alternate translation: “Then one of the men asked him”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יֹּ֖אמֶר

and=he/it_said

Make sure it is clear in your translation that Abraham is the one speaking here. Alternate translation: “He answered him,”

הִנֵּ֥ה בָ⁠אֹֽהֶל

see/lo/see! in/on/at/with,tent

Alternate translation: “She is there inside the tent.”
