OET interlinear EXO 11:8

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

וְ⁠הִשְׁתַּֽחֲוּוּ־לִ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_will_come_down all your=servants these to=me and,they_will_bow_down to=me to=say go_out you(ms) and=all the,people which/who [is]_at,feet_of,your and=after so go_out and=he/it_went_out from,with Parˊoh in,heat_of anger )

This does not mean to bow for worshiping. They will bow to Moses to beg him to leave. They will do this to show how desperate they will be for Moses and the Israelites to go. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הִשְׁתַּֽחֲוּוּ־לִ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_will_come_down all your=servants these to=me and,they_will_bow_down to=me to=say go_out you(ms) and=all the,people which/who [is]_at,feet_of,your and=after so go_out and=he/it_went_out from,with Parˊoh in,heat_of anger )

They will bow to Moses to beg him to leave. They will do this to show how desperate they will be for Moses and the Israelites to go. If this action would not mean the same thing in your culture, you may need to make the reason they are bowing explicit. Alternate translation: [and they will bow down to me to beg]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠כָל־הָ⁠עָ֣ם אֲשֶׁר־בְּ⁠רַגְלֶ֔י⁠ךָ

and=all the,people (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_will_come_down all your=servants these to=me and,they_will_bow_down to=me to=say go_out you(ms) and=all the,people which/who [is]_at,feet_of,your and=after so go_out and=he/it_went_out from,with Parˊoh in,heat_of anger )

Here, the people are pictured as below Moses, which means they are his followers. The reference to feet also can mean they go the same place he goes, again, meaning “follower.” If your language uses a similar image to mean follower, you can translate the image; if not, you may use another image from your culture or translate the meaning. Alternate translation: [and all the people who are following you]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠אַחֲרֵי־כֵ֖ן אֵצֵ֑א

and=after so go_out

This means that Moses and the Israelites will leave Egypt. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly. Alternate translation: [After that I will leave here] or [After that I will go out from Egypt]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

בָּ⁠חֳרִי־אָֽף

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_will_come_down all your=servants these to=me and,they_will_bow_down to=me to=say go_out you(ms) and=all the,people which/who [is]_at,feet_of,your and=after so go_out and=he/it_went_out from,with Parˊoh in,heat_of anger )

This is an idiom meaning that Moses is angry. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent idiom or use plain language. Alternate translation: [enraged]
