Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
וַיֹּאמְר֥וּ כָל־הָעֵצִ֖ים אֶל־הָאָטָ֑ד לֵ֥ךְ אַתָּ֖ה מְלָךְ־עָלֵֽינוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said all the,trees to/towards the_thorn,bush come you(ms) reign over,us )
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [So all of the trees asked the thornbush to come and reign over them]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
כָל־הָעֵצִ֖ים
all the,trees
With the word all, Jotham is implicitly including the trees that had refused to become king. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [all of the trees, including the ones that could have become king themselves]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
לֵ֥ךְ אַתָּ֖ה מְלָךְ־עָלֵֽינוּ
come (Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said all the,trees to/towards the_thorn,bush come you(ms) reign over,us )
See how you translated the same expression in 9:10. Alternate translation: [Then you be the one to reign over us]
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.
