Note 1 topic: writing-background
וּבְנֵ֣י קֵינִי֩
and=the_sons Qēynī
The author is introducing some further background information that is not part of the main narrative. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
וּבְנֵ֣י
and=the_sons
Since the actual sons of the man whom the author is describing here would have been in the same generation as Moses, the term sons could be intended literally. However, since those sons would have had three or even four generations of descendants by this time, the term may also be meant to include them. Alternate translation: “Now the descendants of”
Note 3 topic: translate-names
קֵינִי֩
Qēynī
The word Kenite is the name of a people group. Since the author has a specific Kenite in mind, your language might use a demonstrative pronoun here. Alternate translation: “that Kenite” or “that man from the Kenite people group”
Note 4 topic: translate-kinship
חֹתֵ֨ן מֹשֶׁ֜ה
father-in-law Mosheh
Your language may have its own term or expression for this relationship. Alternate translation: “the father of Moses’ wife”
Note 5 topic: translate-names
מֵעִ֤יר הַתְּמָרִים֙
from,city the,palms
The author is using the expression the City of Palms to refer to settlements in the area of the city of Jericho, which the Israelites had destroyed several years before this. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use the name “Jericho” here. Alternate translation: “from Jericho” or “from Jericho, the city of palm trees”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה
DOM sons_of Yehuda
Here, the term sons means “descendants.” The author is identifying the Judeans as descendants of their ancestor Judah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression “the sons of Israel” in 1:1. Alternate translation: “the people of Judah”
Note 7 topic: translate-names
עֲרָ֑ד
ˊArād
The word Arad is the name of a city.
Note 8 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב
and=he/it_went and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived
The pronoun he seems to refer to the Kenite, that is, the man who was the father-in-law of Moses. The author is using him to represent his descendants. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “And they went and they dwelled”
Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
אֶת־הָעָֽם
DOM DOM the,people
The author implicitly means the people from the tribe of Judah who also settled in this region. You could state this information explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “among the people of Judah who also settled there”
1:16 The Kenites were a southern desert tribe associated with Moses’ in-laws, who were also called Midianites (Exod 18:1; Num 10:29). Moses offered them a share in the covenant blessing (Num 10:29-32). At least one clan of Kenites accepted the offer and was adopted into Judah, though members of the clan later shifted allegiance to King Jabin of Hazor (Judg 4:11, 17).
