OET interlinear HERO (JDG) 21:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said sons_of Yisrael who? which/who not come_up in,assembly from=all tribes_of Yisrael to/towards YHWH that/for/because/then/when the,oath (the),great she/it_was to,[the_one]_who not come_up to/towards YHWH (the),Mizpah to=say to_die he_must_die )

See the introduction to Judges for a discussion of the phrase sons of. Alternate translation: [the descendants of Israel]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

מ֥וֹת יוּמָֽת

to_die he_must_die

The oath repeats forms of the verb die in order to intensify the expression of that idea. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [He shall certainly be caused to die]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

מ֥וֹת יוּמָֽת

to_die he_must_die

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [We shall certainly put him to death]
