Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
מָחֹ֤ה אֶמְחֶה֙ אֶת־זֵ֣כֶר עֲמָלֵ֔ק
to_erase I_will_stroke/rub//erase DOM memory ˊₐmālēq
God speaks of destroying Amalek as if he were removing people’s memory of Amalek. When a group of people is completely destroyed, there is nothing to remind people about them. If your readers would not understand what this image means in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “I will completely destroy Amalek”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
עֲמָלֵ֔ק
ˊₐmālēq
The Amalekites are referred to by naming their ancestor. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “Amalekites”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
מִתַּ֖חַת הַשָּׁמָֽיִם
from=under the=heavens
This phrase makes an intentionally broad image and represents all people everywhere. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “from all people everywhere”
17:8-16 Israel was enabled to defeat the Amalekites only by God’s blessing and providential care.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
