OET (OET-RV) “Stay quiet,” they told him. “Put your hand over your mouth and come with us, and be like a father and a priest for us. Is it better to be a priest for only one household, or to be a priest for a whole related tribe in Israel?”

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said to=him/it keep_quiet put hand,your on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in mouth,your and,come with,us and,be to/for=us as,father and,as,priest ?,better be,you priest to,house (a)_man one(ms) or be,you priest to,tribe and,for,clan in/on/at/with,Israel )
They ask this as a rhetorical question to imply that it is true. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “It is better for you to be priest for a tribe and a clan in Israel than for just the house of one man.”
