OET interlinear DEU 24:4

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַחֲרֵי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֻטַּמָּ֔אָה

after (Some words not found in UHB: not he/it_would_be_able husband_of,her (the),former who he,sent_her_away to,return to,take,her to=be to=him/it to/for=(a)_woman after which/who defiled that/for/because/then/when detestable who/which to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and=not bring_sin DOM the=earth/land which/who YHWH God_of,your giving to/for=yourself(m) inheritance )

The implication is that after a woman has been divorced from her first husband and has married (and thus had sex with) another man, she has become ceremonially unclean in relation to her first husband. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [after she has married another man and so has become ritually unclean for her first husband]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אַחֲרֵי֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֻטַּמָּ֔אָה

after (Some words not found in UHB: not he/it_would_be_able husband_of,her (the),former who he,sent_her_away to,return to,take,her to=be to=him/it to/for=(a)_woman after which/who defiled that/for/because/then/when detestable who/which to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and=not bring_sin DOM the=earth/land which/who YHWH God_of,your giving to/for=yourself(m) inheritance )

The expression has become impure is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [after someone has defiled her] or [after she has defiled herself]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

כִּֽי־תוֹעֵבָ֥ה הִ֖וא

(Some words not found in UHB: not he/it_would_be_able husband_of,her (the),former who he,sent_her_away to,return to,take,her to=be to=him/it to/for=(a)_woman after which/who defiled that/for/because/then/when detestable who/which to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and=not bring_sin DOM the=earth/land which/who YHWH God_of,your giving to/for=yourself(m) inheritance )

The word translated as for indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [because it is an abomination]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

תוֹעֵבָ֥ה

detestable

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of abomination, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [repulsive]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH

Here, to the face of represents being in front of Yahweh. This means that the action would be done where Yahweh could observe and judge it. See the Introduction to Deuteronomy for a discussion of this phrase. See how you translated it in [1:45](../01/45.md). Alternate translation: [before Yahweh] or [in Yahweh’s sight]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠לֹ֤א תַחֲטִיא֙ אֶת־הָ⁠אָ֔רֶץ

and=not bring_sin DOM the=earth/land

Here, land represents the people who live in the land. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and you shall not cause the people in the land to sin]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔י⁠ךָ

YHWH God_of,your

See how you translated the phrase “Yahweh your God” in [1:10](../01/10.md).
