Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֵלַ֔י רְאֵ֗ה הַֽחִלֹּ֨תִי֙ תֵּ֣ת לְפָנֶ֔יךָ אֶת־סִיחֹ֖ן וְאֶת־אַרְצ֑וֹ הָחֵ֣ל רָ֔שׁ לָרֶ֖שֶׁת אֶת־אַרְצֽוֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to=me see begun to_give to=your=face DOM Şīḩōn and=DOM land_of,his begin conquer to,take_possession_of DOM land_of,his )
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [And Yahweh told me that he had begun giving to my face Sihon and his land. He commanded me to begin conquering and possessing his land]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
רְאֵ֗ה
see
Yahweh is using the term Look to focus the Moses’ attention on what he is about to say. Your language may have a comparable expression that you could use in your translation. Alternate translation: [Surely]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
תֵּ֣ת לְפָנֶ֔יךָ אֶת־סִיחֹ֖ן וְאֶת־אַרְצ֑וֹ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to=me see begun to_give to=your=face DOM Şīḩōn and=DOM land_of,his begin conquer to,take_possession_of DOM land_of,his )
Here Yahweh speaks as if he is physically giving Sihon to Moses. Yahweh means that he is enabling Moses to defeat Sihon and take over the land. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [giving you victory over Sihon and his land]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לְפָנֶ֔יךָ
to=your=face
See the Introduction to Deuteronomy for a discussion of the similar phrase “to the face of.” See how you translated “to your face” in [1:21](../01/21.md). Alternate translation: [before you]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
אַרְצ֑וֹ & אֶת־אַרְצֽוֹ
land_of,his & DOM land_of,his
Here the pronoun his refers to King Sihon. Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe the land that King Sihon rules over. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a comparable expression. Alternate translation: [the land that he rules over … the land that he rules over]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication
הָחֵ֣ל רָ֔שׁ לָרֶ֖שֶׁת אֶת־אַרְצֽוֹ
begin conquer (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to=me see begun to_give to=your=face DOM Şīḩōn and=DOM land_of,his begin conquer to,take_possession_of DOM land_of,his )
Moses is repeating forms of the verb possess in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [Begin taking possession of his land and fully possess it]

OET (OET-RV) “Yahweh told me, ‘Listen, I’ve begun to give Sihon and his land to you, so enter it and take it.
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.
