SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:1–17:18 The clans of Ephraim and Manasseh received their land

This section describes the boundaries of the land given to Ephraim and to Manasseh, and the towns within each of their lands.

17:3a

But Zelophehad son of Hepher (the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh)

¶ Zelophehad was the son of Hepher, and the grandson of Gilead, whose father was Machir and whose grandfather was Manasseh.
¶ But Zelophehad, son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manasseh,

But: The Hebrew particle that the BSB translates as But shows a contrast. Unlike the fathers of the sub-clans listed in the previous verse, Zelophehad had only daughters. He did not have any sons. Use a word or particle that is natural in your language to mark a contrast.

Zelophehad son of Hepher (the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh) had no sons but only daughters: Many languages have their own way of stating this kind of genealogy. Use whatever is the most natural way in your language.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the grandson of Gilead, and the great-grandson of Machir, whose father was Manasseh had no sons. He only had daughters

Zelophehad was the son of Hepher and the grandson of Gilead, whose father was Machir. Gilead’s grandfather was Manasseh. Zelophehad had only daughters and no sons

17:3b

had no sons but only daughters. These are the names of his daughters:

He had no sons, but he had daughters. His daughters were
had only daughters. He did not have any sons. The names of his daughters were

17:3c

Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

Mahlah and Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah.

17:3b-c

These are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah: Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

The daughters were named as follows: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah

The names of his daughters were Mahlah and Noah and Hoglah and Milcah and Tirzah

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-exceptions

לֹא־הָ֥יוּ ל֛⁠וֹ בָּנִ֖ים כִּ֣י אִם־בָּנ֑וֹת

not they_were to=him/it (Some words not found in UHB: and,to,Zelophehad son_of Ḩēfer son_of Gilˊād son_of Mākīr son_of Mənashsheh not they_were to=him/it sons that/for/because/then/when if daughters and=these names_of his_daughters_of,his Maḩlāh and,Noah Ḩāgəlāh Milkah and,Tirzah )

If it would appear in your language that the author was making a statement and then contradicting it, you could reword this as a positive statement. Alternate translation: [the only children he had were daughters]
