uW Translation Notes:

וַ⁠יֹּ֗אמֶר

and=he/it_said

In the UST, the phrase and the king said, is combined with “spoke” from [1:15](../01/15.md) (ULT) because the verb for “say” is used twice before he speaks. Having two speech verbs may be strange in some languages. If it would be unnatural to say that the king spoke or said words twice, you may leave one off.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youdual

בְּ⁠יַלֶּדְ⁠כֶן֙ & וּ⁠רְאִיתֶ֖ן & וַ⁠הֲמִתֶּ֣ן

when,you,assist_as_midwife & and,you(pl)_will_look & and,you(pl)_will_kill

The king is speaking to the two midwives, so the form of you is plural. If your language uses different forms of “you” depending on the number of people addressed, use a dual or plural form here.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

עַל־הָ⁠אָבְנָ֑יִם

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the,stones

Women sat on this short stool as they gave birth. Therefore, it was associated with birth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [in the birthing process]

Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical

אִם־בֵּ֥ן הוּא֙ וַ⁠הֲמִתֶּ֣ן אֹת֔⁠וֹ וְ⁠אִם־בַּ֥ת הִ֖יא וָ⁠חָֽיָה

if son he/it and,you(pl)_will_kill DOM=him/it and=if daughter_of she/it and,she_will_live

These two statements are hypothetical conditions (starting at if) with instructions for what the midwives should do in each situation (starting at then). Use a natural form in your language for hypothetical situations connected to instructions.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:16 watch as they deliver (literally look upon the two stones): The Hebrew might refer to a birthstool or genitalia.
• If the baby is a boy, kill him; if it is a girl, let her live: Such selective genocide would not completely deprive the Egyptians of a free labor source. When grown, the girls would be married to slaves from other people groups, effectively destroying Hebrew cohesion while keeping the supply of slaves as high as possible.

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
