OET interlinear JDG 11:18

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יָּבֹ֤א מִ⁠מִּזְרַח־שֶׁ֨מֶשׁ֙ לְ⁠אֶ֣רֶץ מוֹאָ֔ב

and,it_came from_[the],rising_of sun of,the_land_of Mōʼāⱱ

The messengers are describing the location of one place relative to another in the way that is characteristic of their culture. In your translation, express this in the way your culture customarily describes the location of places relative to one another. See how you translated the comparable expression in [8:11](../08/11.md). Alternate translation: [and he traveled to the east of the land of Moab]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠עֵ֣בֶר אַרְנ֑וֹן

on,the_other_side_of ʼArnōn

The messengers are speaking from a vantage point south of the Arnon River, since the Israelites approached it from the south on their journey from Egypt. So the other side implicitly means the north side. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. See how you translated the similar expression in [10:8](../10/08.md). Alternate translation: [on the north side of the Arnon River]
