Note 1 topic: writing-participants
אִשָּׁ֥ה אַחַ֛ת
woman/wife one(fs)
The author is using the phrase one woman to introduce this woman as a participant in the story. While she has only a brief role, it is an important one. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you can use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [a certain woman]

פֶּ֥לַח רֶ֖כֶב
grinding_stone_of upper
A millstone was a large, flat, round stone that was used to grind grain. Two of these stones were used together, with the grain between them. The upper millstone was the top one that was rolled on the lower one to crush the grain. If your readers would not be familiar with this object, in your translation you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [a heavy stone]
9:53 Women frequently ground grain on a stationary lower millstone, on which the lighter upper millstone was turned by hand. This incident is referenced in the story of David’s murder of Uriah (2 Sam 11:21).
