OET interlinear EXO 12:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

דַּבְּר֗וּ

(Some words not found in UHB: speak to/near all/each/any/every community_of Yisrael to=say on, of, the=this and, to/for=them (a)_man שֶׂה for,a_household_of אָבֹת שֶׂה to/for, )

The command here is to both Moses and Aaron. If your language uses a different form if two are people addressed, use a dual form here.

וְ⁠יִקְח֣וּ לָ⁠הֶ֗ם אִ֛ישׁ שֶׂ֥ה לְ⁠בֵית־אָבֹ֖ת שֶׂ֥ה לַ⁠בָּֽיִת

and, to/for=them (a)_man (Some words not found in UHB: speak to/near all/each/any/every community_of Yisrael to=say on, of, the=this and, to/for=them (a)_man שֶׂה for,a_household_of אָבֹת שֶׂה to/for, )

This seems to be indicating that if multiple families live in one house, the man who is the leader of the family group that lives there should take one lamb for that whole household. Alternate translation: [the father of each household must take a lamb for his household, one per household]

Alternate translation: [one lamb per house]

The word lamb literally means “of the flock,” and it could also be translated as a sheep or a goat. Here, the ULT uses lamb (a young sheep), because [12:5](../12/05.md) specifies that it must be one year old. “Kid” (a young goat) would be equally valid as [verse 5](../12/05.md) also says that it could be either a sheep or a goat. You may translate it as either sheep or goat, whichever would be most familiar.
