OET interlinear JDG 4:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

יוֹשֶׁ֨בֶת

sit

In this culture, people in positions of authority such as rulers, teachers, and judges would exercise their authority from a seated position. Deborah sitting beneath the tree was therefore a symbolic action that indicated her role as a judge. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action. Alternate translation: [was judging cases]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וַ⁠יַּעֲל֥וּ

and,they_went_up

In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: [and … went up]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לַ⁠מִּשְׁפָּֽט

for,judgment

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of justice, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [to have her judge their cases]
