OET interlinear EZRA 8:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠בְּנֵ֥י שְׁכַנְיָ֖ה בֶּן־יַחֲזִיאֵ֑ל

(Some words not found in UHB: from=(the)_sons Shəkan^yāh son_of Yaḩₐzī^ʼēl/(Jahaziel) and,with,him three hundreds the,males )

Here, sons means “descendants,” but son most likely means a biological son. Alternate translation: [From the descendants of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel]

Note 2 topic: translate-textvariants

מִ⁠בְּנֵ֥י שְׁכַנְיָ֖ה בֶּן־יַחֲזִיאֵ֑ל

(Some words not found in UHB: from=(the)_sons Shəkan^yāh son_of Yaḩₐzī^ʼēl/(Jahaziel) and,with,him three hundreds the,males )

Since this list has been providing the name of each clan leader, it would be unusual for it to omit the leader’s name here and state only the name of his father. Most scholars believe that the name of the clan leader was accidentally left out at one point in the copying process. Other ancient versions of the Old Testament read, “from the sons of Zattu, Shecaniah the son of Jahaziel.” If it would be helpful to your readers, you could follow those versions and include the following footnote: “The name Zattu appears in the ancient Greek and other ancient versions.” Alternate translation: [From the descendants of Zattu, Shecaniah the son of Jahaziel] If you want to translate only what is in the Hebrew, you could follow the ULT or translate, “From the descendants of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

שְׁכַנְיָ֖ה & יַחֲזִיאֵ֑ל

(Some words not found in UHB: from=(the)_sons Shəkan^yāh son_of Yaḩₐzī^ʼēl/(Jahaziel) and,with,him three hundreds the,males )

These are the names of two men.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠עִמּ֕⁠וֹ שְׁלֹ֥שׁ מֵא֖וֹת הַ⁠זְּכָרִֽים

and,with,him (Some words not found in UHB: from=(the)_sons Shəkan^yāh son_of Yaḩₐzī^ʼēl/(Jahaziel) and,with,him three hundreds the,males )

See the note to 8:3 about this expression. Alternate translation: [along with 300 men from his clan]
