Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וַנָּב֖וֹא
and,came
The word so indicates that the sentence it introduces explains the results of what the previous sentence described. The group reached Jerusalem safely because God protected them. Alternate translation: “As a result, we came”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
וַנָּב֖וֹא & וַנֵּ֥שֶׁב
and,came & and,remained
As Ezra tells his story, he uses we in the exclusive sense, that is, it excludes the reader.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַנָּב֖וֹא יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וַנֵּ֥שֶׁב שָׁ֖ם יָמִ֥ים שְׁלֹשָֽׁה
and,came Yərūshālayim/(Jerusalem) and,remained there days three
Ezra does not say specifically why the group waited for three days before delivering the silver and gold and objects to the temple. But the implication is that this gave them a chance to rest after their journey and arrange for the delivery. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “We reached Jerusalem safely, and after we got there, we rested for three days”
8:31-32 We broke camp . . . on April 19: It took twelve days to get organized, to encourage some Levites to join them, and to pray for God’s protection before Ezra could actually get the people moving toward Jerusalem (see 7:9).
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.
