OET interlinear JDG 1:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וַ⁠יֵּ֤לֶךְ יְהוּדָה֙ אֶת־שִׁמְע֣וֹן אָחִ֔י⁠ו

and=he/it_went Yehuda DOM Shimon his/its=woman

See how you translated the terms Judah, Simeon, and brother in 1:3. Alternate translation: [Then the soldiers of the tribe of Judah went with their kinsmen, the soldiers of the tribe of Simeon,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יַּחֲרִ֣ימוּ אוֹתָ֔⁠הּ

and,utterly_destroyed DOM,it

The word that the ULT translates as devoted is a specialized term that describes the cultural practice of giving something over to Yahweh so that humans will no longer be able to use it. Depending on the context, the term can indicate either “destroy” or “preserve, but set apart.” In this context, the meaning is clearly “destroy.” You could indicate that in your translation if it would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [And they completely destroyed it]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וַ⁠יִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שֵׁם־הָ⁠עִ֖יר

and=he/it_called DOM name_of the=city

It might seem that the expression called the name contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [and they called the city] or [and they named the city]

Ḩārəmāh

The word Hormah is the name of a city. The Israelites changed the name of Zephath to Hormah, which means “destruction,” after they destroyed it completely. See the Introduction to this chapter for a further discussion.
