uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-oathformula

אִם־לֹ֗א הָ⁠אָ֨רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר דָּרְכָ֤ה רַגְלְ⁠ךָ֙ בָּ֔⁠הּ לְ⁠ךָ֨ תִֽהְיֶ֧ה לְ⁠נַחֲלָ֛ה וּ⁠לְ⁠בָנֶ֖י⁠ךָ עַד־עוֹלָ֑ם

if not the=earth/land which/who trodden foot_of,your on,it to/for=yourself(m) be to,an_inheritance and,to,children_of,your until ever

Following the custom of his culture, Moses is swearing an oath by stating the first part of a condition (if) but not the second part (“then”). If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explicitly state the second part of this condition. Alternate translation: [If the land on which your foot has walked does not become an inheritance for you and your descendants forever, then may Yahweh punish me severely]

לֵ⁠אמֹר֒ אִם־לֹ֗א הָ⁠אָ֨רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר דָּרְכָ֤ה רַגְלְ⁠ךָ֙ בָּ֔⁠הּ לְ⁠ךָ֨ תִֽהְיֶ֧ה לְ⁠נַחֲלָ֛ה וּ⁠לְ⁠בָנֶ֖י⁠ךָ עַד־עוֹלָ֑ם כִּ֣י מִלֵּ֔אתָ אַחֲרֵ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָֽ⁠י

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [telling me that the land on which my foot had trodden would certainly be for an inheritance for me and my sons forever, since I had been full after Yahweh his God]

אִם־לֹ֗א הָ⁠אָ֨רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר דָּרְכָ֤ה רַגְלְ⁠ךָ֙ בָּ֔⁠הּ לְ⁠ךָ֨ תִֽהְיֶ֧ה לְ⁠נַחֲלָ֛ה וּ⁠לְ⁠בָנֶ֖י⁠ךָ עַד־עוֹלָ֑ם כִּ֣י מִלֵּ֔אתָ אַחֲרֵ֖י יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָֽ⁠י

if not the=earth/land which/who trodden foot_of,your on,it to/for=yourself(m) be to,an_inheritance and,to,children_of,your until ever that/for/because/then/when wholeheartedly after YHWH God_of,my

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Because you obeyed Yahweh your God completely, the land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance for you and your descendants forever]

הָ⁠אָ֨רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֨ר דָּרְכָ֤ה רַגְלְ⁠ךָ֙ בָּ֔⁠הּ

the=earth/land which/who trodden foot_of,your on,it

Moses is using one part of Caleb, his foot, to mean all of him in the act of walking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the land where you have walked]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠לְ⁠בָנֶ֖י⁠ךָ

and,to,children_of,your

Moses is speaking as if all of the descendants of Caleb were actually his sons. Alternate translation: [and for your descendants]
