OET interlinear DEUT 19:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

לֵ⁠אמֹ֑ר

to=say

Here the word saying introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this term explicitly.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

מְצַוְּ⁠ךָ֖ לֵ⁠אמֹ֑ר שָׁלֹ֥שׁ עָרִ֖ים תַּבְדִּ֥יל לָֽ⁠ךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so I [am]_commanding_of,you to=say three cities set_apart to/for=you(fs) )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [command you to select three cities for yourself]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

שָׁלֹ֥שׁ עָרִ֖ים תַּבְדִּ֥יל לָֽ⁠ךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in yes/correct/thus/so I [am]_commanding_of,you to=say three cities set_apart to/for=you(fs) )

The expression Select three cities for yourself 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: [Select three cities]
