uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יָּ֥חֶל נֹ֖חַ אִ֣ישׁ הָֽ⁠אֲדָמָ֑ה וַ⁠יִּטַּ֖ע

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_began Noaḩ (a)_man the=soil and=he/it_planted vineyard )

Consider what is the best way in your language to introduce or begin a new episode here. The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “who was a farmer, began farming and planted” or “who was a farmer, was the first man to plant” or (2) “began to be a farmer and planted” or “became a farmer and planted” Alternate translation: [Now later on, Noah]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כָּֽרֶם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_began Noaḩ (a)_man the=soil and=he/it_planted vineyard )

It is implied that Noah made wine from the grapes ([verse 21](../09/21.md)). If necessary, you could make that explicit here. Also, if grapes are not known in your language area, you could say “vines with a fruit called grapes,” or you could put in a footnote information about grapes, including how they are squeezed and how the juice is fermented to make wine. Alternate translation: [some grapevines and made wine from the grapes] or [a field with grapevines. And he made wine from the grapes]
