קְרָ֨א & בְּאָזְנֵ֤י הָעָם֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר מִֽי־יָרֵ֣א וְחָרֵ֔ד יָשֹׁ֥ב וְיִצְפֹּ֖ר מֵהַ֣ר הַגִּלְעָ֑ד
proclaim & in/on/at/with,hearing the,troops to=say who? fearing and,trembling return and,leave from=hill the,Gilead
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “proclaim in the ears of the people that anyone who is afraid or trembling may turn back and depart from Mount Gilead”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
בְּאָזְנֵ֤י הָעָם֙
in/on/at/with,hearing the,troops
Yahweh is using one part of Gideon’s soldiers, their ears, to mean all of them in the act of hearing. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “loudly so that the people can hear”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
יָרֵ֣א וְחָרֵ֔ד
fearing and,trembling
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word afraid tells why a soldier might be trembling. Alternate translation: “is trembling with fear”
Note 4 topic: translate-names
מֵהַ֣ר הַגִּלְעָ֑ד
from=hill the,Gilead
See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter for a suggestion of how to translate this name in this context.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
נִשְׁאָֽרוּ
remained
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: “remained”
7:3 The first reduction sorted out those who initially responded with enthusiasm but then had second thoughts.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
