uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠מָ֣ה חַשְׁחָ֡ן וּ⁠בְנֵ֣י תוֹרִ֣ין וְ⁠דִכְרִ֣ין וְ⁠אִמְּרִ֣ין ׀ לַ⁠עֲלָוָ֣ן ׀ לֶ⁠אֱלָ֪הּ שְׁמַיָּ֟⁠א חִנְטִ֞ין מְלַ֣ח ׀ חֲמַ֣ר וּ⁠מְשַׁ֗ח כְּ⁠מֵאמַ֨ר כָּהֲנַיָּ֤⁠א דִי־בִ⁠ירֽוּשְׁלֶם֙ לֶהֱוֵ֨א מִתְיְהֵ֥ב לְ⁠הֹ֛ם י֥וֹם ׀ בְּ⁠י֖וֹם דִּי־לָ֥א שָׁלֽוּ

and,whatever (Some words not found in UHB: and,whatever needed and=the_sons bulls and,rams and,lambs for,burnt_offerings to=god the=heavens wheat salt wine and,oil according,to_the_word_of of,the_priests that [are]_in,Jerusalem it_will_happen given to,them day in/on=day that/who not fail )

This sentence, like the one in [5:14](../05/14.md), may be hard for readers to follow because the thing that receives the action comes first, and it consists of a very long phrase. This sentence continues into the next verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could break it up into four sentences, three in this verse and the last one in verse [10](../06/10.md). You could also use active forms instead of the two passive forms and say who would do the action in each case. Alternate translation: [The priests who are in Jerusalem will tell you what they need. This may include young bulls, rams, and lambs for burnt offerings to the God of heaven, and wheat, salt, wine, and oil. I want you to give them everything that they need every single day]

See how you translated this in [3:2](../03/02.md). Review the note there if that would be helpful. Alternate translation: [whole burnt offerings]

to=god (Some words not found in UHB: and,whatever needed and=the_sons bulls and,rams and,lambs for,burnt_offerings to=god the=heavens wheat salt wine and,oil according,to_the_word_of of,the_priests that [are]_in,Jerusalem it_will_happen given to,them day in/on=day that/who not fail )

Here the king uses a figure of speech that expresses a strong positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. Alternate translation: [make sure that you do this]
