uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

חֵ֥לֶק כְּ⁠חֵ֖לֶק יֹאכֵ֑לוּ

benefit (Some words not found in UHB: benefit like,a_portion eat besides, sales_of,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,fathers )

Moses is using portions alike portions as a common expression of his culture to mean “equal portions.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [They shall share and share alike] or [They shall all eat equal portions]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠בַ֥ד מִמְכָּרָ֖י⁠ו עַל־הָ⁠אָבֽוֹת

besides, (Some words not found in UHB: benefit like,a_portion eat besides, sales_of,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,fathers )

Here, the sale of his fathers refers to the money from selling family inheritance. The Levite was allowed to keep this money and use it as he wished. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [besides any family inheritance] or [even if he has received money from his family]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

הָ⁠אָבֽוֹת

the,fathers

Moses is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [his father’s possessions] or [inherited possessions]
