(Some words not found in UHB: lest pursue avenger_of of_(the),blood after the,killer that/for/because/then/when he_is_enraged heart_of,his and,he,will_overtake_him that/for/because/then/when long the,journey and,he,will_strike_him soul and=to/for=him/it not deserve_of death that/for/because/then/when not hated he/it to=him/it from,yesterday before )
Moses is using the word translated as lest to introduce an outcome that he does not want to happen. Because of this, he first gives the Israelites instructions about fleeing to a city of refuge so that this will not happen. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that avoiding this outcome is the purpose of the instruction. Alternate translation: [In case]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
יִרְדֹּף֩ גֹּאֵ֨ל הַדָּ֜ם אַחֲרֵ֣י הָרֹצֵ֗חַ כִּי־יֵחַם֮ לְבָבוֹ֒ וְהִשִּׂיג֛וֹ כִּֽי־יִרְבֶּ֥ה הַדֶּ֖רֶךְ
(Some words not found in UHB: lest pursue avenger_of of_(the),blood after the,killer that/for/because/then/when he_is_enraged heart_of,his and,he,will_overtake_him that/for/because/then/when long the,journey and,he,will_strike_him soul and=to/for=him/it not deserve_of death that/for/because/then/when not hated he/it to=him/it from,yesterday before )
The implication is that, if there are no roads to the cities of refuge, it will be difficult for a manslayer to travel to a safe city. Then, the avenger of blood might overtake the killer before the killer arrives at the city. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers, as modeled by the UST.
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
לְבָבוֹ֒ & וְהִכָּ֣הוּ
heart_of,his & (Some words not found in UHB: lest pursue avenger_of of_(the),blood after the,killer that/for/because/then/when he_is_enraged heart_of,his and,he,will_overtake_him that/for/because/then/when long the,journey and,he,will_strike_him soul and=to/for=him/it not deserve_of death that/for/because/then/when not hated he/it to=him/it from,yesterday before )
The pronouns his and he refer to “the avenger of blood.” It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the heart of the avenger … and the avenger strike him]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
יֵחַם֮ לְבָבוֹ֒
he_is_enraged heart_of,his
Moses is using heart is heated as a common expression of his culture to mean “is angry.” 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 state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he is burning with anger] or [he is angry]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וְהִכָּ֣הוּ נָ֑פֶשׁ
(Some words not found in UHB: lest pursue avenger_of of_(the),blood after the,killer that/for/because/then/when he_is_enraged heart_of,his and,he,will_overtake_him that/for/because/then/when long the,journey and,he,will_strike_him soul and=to/for=him/it not deserve_of death that/for/because/then/when not hated he/it to=him/it from,yesterday before )
Moses is using strike him to the life as a common expression of his culture to mean “mortally wound him.” 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 state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and he does him in] or [and he mortally wound him]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְלוֹ֙ אֵ֣ין מִשְׁפַּט־מָ֔וֶת כִּ֠י לֹ֣א שֹׂנֵ֥א ה֛וּא ל֖וֹ מִתְּמ֥וֹל שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם
and=to/for=him/it not (Some words not found in UHB: lest pursue avenger_of of_(the),blood after the,killer that/for/because/then/when he_is_enraged heart_of,his and,he,will_overtake_him that/for/because/then/when long the,journey and,he,will_strike_him soul and=to/for=him/it not deserve_of death that/for/because/then/when not hated he/it to=him/it from,yesterday before )
The implication is that a killer who killed accidentally does not deserve execution. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [though that man did not deserve to die since he unintentionally killed the other person and was not his enemy, and he had not planned to hurt the man]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
לֹ֣א שֹׂנֵ֥א ה֛וּא ל֖וֹ מִתְּמ֥וֹל שִׁלְשֽׁוֹם
not (Some words not found in UHB: lest pursue avenger_of of_(the),blood after the,killer that/for/because/then/when he_is_enraged heart_of,his and,he,will_overtake_him that/for/because/then/when long the,journey and,he,will_strike_him soul and=to/for=him/it not deserve_of death that/for/because/then/when not hated he/it to=him/it from,yesterday before )
See how you translated the phrase “he did not hate him from previous times” in [19:4](../19/04.md) where it occurs with the same meaning.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
