OET interlinear JDG 9:29

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וּ⁠מִ֨י יִתֵּ֜ן אֶת־הָ⁠עָ֤ם הַ⁠זֶּה֙ בְּ⁠יָדִ֔⁠י

and,who? (Some words not found in UHB: and,who? he/it_gave DOM the,people the=this in,hand_of,my and,I_will_remove DOM ʼAⱱīmelek and=he/it_said of,Abimelech increase army_of,your and,come,out )

The question who will give was a characteristic way for a Hebrew speaker to introduce a wish. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this question as a statement or exclamation expressing a wish. Alternate translation: [I wish that someone would give this people into my hand!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / apostrophe

וַ⁠יֹּ֨אמֶר֙ לַ⁠אֲבִימֶ֔לֶךְ רַבֶּ֥ה צְבָאֲ⁠ךָ֖ וָ⁠צֵֽאָ⁠ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,who? he/it_gave DOM the,people the=this in,hand_of,my and,I_will_remove DOM ʼAⱱīmelek and=he/it_said of,Abimelech increase army_of,your and,come,out )

Gaal is speaking to Abimelech even though he is not present and cannot hear him. Gaal is doing this to show in a strong way how he feels about Abimelech. He is actually speaking to the people who can hear him, the others who are present at this feast. If your readers might not understand why Gaal is speaking to someone who is not present, you could translate his words as if he were speaking directly to others who are present. You could also describe what Gaal is doing here, as the UST does. Alternate translation, continuing the direct quotation: [I would fight against him and his whole army and defeat him!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

רַבֶּ֥ה צְבָאֲ⁠ךָ֖

(Some words not found in UHB: and,who? he/it_gave DOM the,people the=this in,hand_of,my and,I_will_remove DOM ʼAⱱīmelek and=he/it_said of,Abimelech increase army_of,your and,come,out )

Gaal is probably not saying that Abimelech should seek a larger number of troops than are already at his disposal. He is probably saying that even if Abimelech summoned all of the men who would willingly serve in his army, he would not be afraid to fight a battle with him. (Abimelech probably ordinarily traveled with just a small number of bodyguards, and Gaal is boasting that he could defeat a much larger force than that.) You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [mobilize your forces]
