וְ⁠הֽוֹצֵאתָ֣

and,you_will_bring_out

This verse gives instructions for what the Israelites should do if the possible situation introduced in verses 2–4 occurs. Use a natural form in your language for introducing the instructions for what to do when a possible situation happens. Alternate translation: [then, if those things happened, you must bring]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וְ⁠הֽוֹצֵאתָ֣

and,you_will_bring_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “take” instead of bring. Alternate translation: [then you shall take]

אֶת־הָ⁠אִ֣ישׁ הַ⁠ה֡וּא אוֹ֩ אֶת־הָ⁠אִשָּׁ֨ה הַ⁠הִ֜וא אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָ֠שׂוּ אֶת־הַ⁠דָּבָ֨ר הָ⁠רָ֤ע הַ⁠זֶּה֙ אֶל־שְׁעָרֶ֔י⁠ךָ אֶת־הָ⁠אִ֕ישׁ א֖וֹ אֶת־הָ⁠אִשָּׁ֑ה

The expression that man or that woman who has done this evil thing to your gates, the man or the woman contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: [that man or that woman who has done this evil thing to your gates]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־הַ⁠דָּבָ֨ר הָ⁠רָ֤ע הַ⁠זֶּה֙

DOM DOM DOM DOM DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_bring_out DOM the=man (the)=that or DOM the=woman the=that which/who they_had_acquired DOM the,thing (the),evil the=this to/towards gates_of,your DOM the=man or DOM the=woman and,you,will_stone_them with,stones and,they_will_die )

Here, this evil thing refers to the act of an Israelite worshipping an idol. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [this evil of idol worship]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶל־שְׁעָרֶ֔י⁠ךָ

to/towards (Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_bring_out DOM the=man (the)=that or DOM the=woman the=that which/who they_had_acquired DOM the,thing (the),evil the=this to/towards gates_of,your DOM the=man or DOM the=woman and,you,will_stone_them with,stones and,they_will_die )

Moses assumes that the Israelites will know that to your gates means “outside the gates of your city.” (Legal matters were conducted in front of the city gate, in an open square, and if a person was found guilty of an act deserving of stoning, they were stoned outside the city gates.) You could state explicitly that this phrase refers to the guilty person being taken outside of the city gates, if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [outside your city gates] or [outside the gates of your city]

וּ⁠סְקַלְתָּ֥⁠ם בָּ⁠אֲבָנִ֖ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_bring_out DOM the=man (the)=that or DOM the=woman the=that which/who they_had_acquired DOM the,thing (the),evil the=this to/towards gates_of,your DOM the=man or DOM the=woman and,you,will_stone_them with,stones and,they_will_die )

The expression stone them with stones contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: [and you shall stone them]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וָ⁠מֵֽתוּ

and,they_will_die

The implication is that the Israelites should stone the guilty person until that person is dead. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [until they die]
