The author is using the pronoun they to mean the people of the city of Shechem. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And the people of Shechem went out]

The author is using the term vineyards by association to mean the grapes on the vines in the vineyards. Alternate translation: [and cut clusters of grapes off the vines in their vineyards]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_went_out the=field and,they_gathered_grapes DOM vineyards_of,their and,they_trod_[them] and,they_made festival and=they_came house_of their_god_of,their and,they_ate and,they_drank and,they_cursed DOM ʼAⱱīmelek )

The author is leaving some information implicit that he assumes readers will understand. He means that the people of Shechem trod on the grapes that they had picked. That is, they stepped on them to squeeze the juice out of them so that they could make wine from it. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and squeezed the grapes to make wine]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

וַֽ⁠יַּעֲשׂ֖וּ הִלּוּלִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_went_out the=field and,they_gathered_grapes DOM vineyards_of,their and,they_trod_[them] and,they_made festival and=they_came house_of their_god_of,their and,they_ate and,they_drank and,they_cursed DOM ʼAⱱīmelek )

Based on its one other use in [Leviticus 19:24](../../lev/19/24.md), the term translated as offerings refers to fruit that people brought into a temple and ate, or drank as juice, as part of a harvest thanksgiving celebration. Alternate translation: [and they prepared fruit offerings to give thanks for their harvest]

The author is speaking of the temple of the god that the people of Shechem worshiped as if it were a house in which that false god lived. See how you translated the similar expression in [9:4](../09/04.md). Alternate translation: [into the temple of their god]
