SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 21:1–45 The clan of Levi received towns to live in

21:20a

The remaining Kohathite clans of the Levites

¶ The remaining Levi people who belonged to the Kohath families of the Levi clan
¶ The descendants of Levi who belonged to the families of Kohath

The Hebrew conjunction that the BSB leaves untranslated can also be translated “and.” Many English versions leave this conjunction untranslated. Use the form that is natural in your language.

remaining Kohathite clans of the Levites: Exodus 6:16 says that Kohath had four sons. The eldest son was Amram who was the father of Moses and Aaron. The three other sons had sons who became the families that are spoken of here.

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

The remaining Levi people who belonged to the Kohath families of the Levi clan

The Levi people who belonged to the other families of Kohath

21:20b

were allotted these cities: From the tribe of Ephraim

received their towns by lot from the clan of Ephraim.
were given towns from the descendants of Ephraim, by lot.

were allotted these cities: From the tribe of Ephraim: Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

received their towns by lot from the clan of Ephraim

were given towns from the clan of Ephraim by lot

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠נּוֹתָרִ֖ים מִ⁠בְּנֵ֣י קְהָ֑ת

[who],remained (Some words not found in UHB: and,to,the_clans_of sons_of Qəhāt the,Levites [who],remained from=(the)_sons Qəhāt and=he/it_was cities_of their_lot_of,their from,the_tribe_of Efrayim )

The author assumes that readers will understand what he means by remaining. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the other descendants of Kohath]

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
