OET interlinear EXO 8:6

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יֵּ֤ט אַהֲרֹן֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_stretched_out ʼAhₐron DOM his/its=hand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters_of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) and,it_went_up the,frog[s] and,it_covered DOM earth/land Miʦrayim/(Egypt) )

It is implied that Moses told Yahweh’s instructions to Aaron. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־יָד֔⁠וֹ

DOM his/its=hand

It is implied that Aaron was holding his staff as instructed. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly. See note in the Chapter 8 Introduction regarding the hand and staff. Alternate translation: [his hand holding his staff]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

וַ⁠יֵּ֤ט אַהֲרֹן֙ אֶת־יָד֔⁠וֹ עַ֖ל מֵימֵ֣י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_stretched_out ʼAhₐron DOM his/its=hand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters_of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) and,it_went_up the,frog[s] and,it_covered DOM earth/land Miʦrayim/(Egypt) )

Aaron would not have been able to reach his hand over all the water in Egypt. He likely stretched his hand over some nearby portion of the Nile, symbolizing all the water of Egypt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the meaning plainly.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠תַּ֨עַל֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_stretched_out ʼAhₐron DOM his/its=hand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters_of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) and,it_went_up the,frog[s] and,it_covered DOM earth/land Miʦrayim/(Egypt) )

8:3 has specified from where the frogs will come. Here it is implied, but if it would be helpful to your readers, you could express that explicitly.

Note 5 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

הַ⁠צְּפַרְדֵּ֔עַ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_stretched_out ʼAhₐron DOM his/its=hand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters_of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) and,it_went_up the,frog[s] and,it_covered DOM earth/land Miʦrayim/(Egypt) )

There were so many frogs that the text uses the collective singular. If that would be misunderstood in your language, you may simply use the plural, as in the UST.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠תַּ֨עַל֙ הַ⁠צְּפַרְדֵּ֔עַ וַ⁠תְּכַ֖ס אֶת־אֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_stretched_out ʼAhₐron DOM his/its=hand on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in waters_of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) and,it_went_up the,frog[s] and,it_covered DOM earth/land Miʦrayim/(Egypt) )

This means that there were frogs everywhere in Egypt. The image is like that of a blanket smothering the entire country. (Or more directly, like one giant, nation-sized frog sitting on top of the entire land). 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.
