uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-endofstory

וַ⁠יִּתְהַלְּכ֨וּ מִ⁠שָּׁ֤ם בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ בָּ⁠עֵ֣ת הַ⁠הִ֔יא אִ֥ישׁ לְ⁠שִׁבְט֖⁠וֹ וּ⁠לְ⁠מִשְׁפַּחְתּ֑⁠וֹ וַ⁠יֵּצְא֣וּ מִ⁠שָּׁ֔ם אִ֖ישׁ לְ⁠נַחֲלָתֽ⁠וֹ

and,they_dispersed from=there sons_of Yisrael at,time (the), (a)_man to,his_of,tribe and,to,his_of,clan and=they_went_out from=there (a)_man to,his_of,inheritance

Here the author is saying what happened at the end of the story of the civil war between Benjamin and the other Israelite tribes. Your language may have its own way of presenting information to bring a story to a close.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וַ⁠יִּתְהַלְּכ֨וּ מִ⁠שָּׁ֤ם בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ בָּ⁠עֵ֣ת הַ⁠הִ֔יא אִ֥ישׁ לְ⁠שִׁבְט֖⁠וֹ וּ⁠לְ⁠מִשְׁפַּחְתּ֑⁠וֹ וַ⁠יֵּצְא֣וּ מִ⁠שָּׁ֔ם אִ֖ישׁ לְ⁠נַחֲלָתֽ⁠וֹ

and,they_dispersed from=there sons_of Yisrael at,time (the), (a)_man to,his_of,tribe and,to,his_of,clan and=they_went_out from=there (a)_man to,his_of,inheritance

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. If it would be clearer in your language, you could combine them. Alternate translation: [Then all the Israelites left and went back to their tribal territories]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִ⁠שָּׁ֤ם

from=there

The author assumes that readers will understand that there means the place where they had gathered to discuss what to do about wives for Benjamin. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [from the place where they had gathered]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠שִׁבְט֖⁠וֹ וּ⁠לְ⁠מִשְׁפַּחְתּ֑⁠וֹ

to,his_of,tribe and,to,his_of,clan

The author is using the terms tribe and clan by association to mean the territory where each tribe and clan lived. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [to the territory of his tribe and of his clan]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

לְ⁠שִׁבְט֖⁠וֹ וּ⁠לְ⁠מִשְׁפַּחְתּ֑⁠וֹ

to,his_of,tribe and,to,his_of,clan

The terms tribe and clan mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [to his tribal territory]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠נַחֲלָתֽ⁠וֹ

to,his_of,inheritance

See how you translated the term inheritance in [18:1](../0181/01.md). Alternate translation: [to his territory]
