OET (OET-LV) And_flee to one of_the_cities the_these and_stand the_entrance_of the_gate_of the_city and_state in/on/at/with_hearing_of the_elders_of the_city[fn] the_that DOM case_of_his and_take DOM_him/it the_city_into to_them and_give to_him/it a_place and_live among_them.

20:4 Note: We read punctuation in L differently from BHS.

OET (OET-RV) When that person flees to one of these cities, they must stand at the city gate and tell the elders there what happened. Then they should bring the person into the city and give them a place there to live in.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠נָ֞ס

and,flee

The pronoun he refers to anyone who has killed someone accidentally. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “And the person who has killed someone accidentally shall flee”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠דִבֶּ֛ר בְּ⁠אָזְנֵ֛י זִקְנֵ֥י הָ⁠עִֽיר הַ⁠הִ֖יא אֶת דְּבָרָ֑י⁠ו

and,state in/on/at/with,hearing_of elders_of the=city the,that DOM case_of,his

Yahweh is using the term words to mean what this person would say by using words, and he is using the term ears by association to mean hearing and understanding. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “and he shall explain his situation to the elders of that city so that they understand it”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

20:1-6 These verses contain a review of the law concerning cities of refuge (see also Num 35:6-34).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
