Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

מִקְלַ֣עַת פְּקָעִ֔ים וּ⁠פְטוּרֵ֖י צִצִּ֑ים

carved_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,cedar to/towards the,house within carved_of gourds and,spread_out_[things]_of flowers (the),everything cedar not stone he/it_appeared )

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [it was decorated with carving of gourds and opened ones of flowers]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מִקְלַ֣עַת פְּקָעִ֔ים

carved_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,cedar to/towards the,house within carved_of gourds and,spread_out_[things]_of flowers (the),everything cedar not stone he/it_appeared )

The author is not referring to a specific carving. He means carvings in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [carvings of gourds]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וּ⁠פְטוּרֵ֖י צִצִּ֑ים

and,spread_out_[things]_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,cedar to/towards the,house within carved_of gourds and,spread_out_[things]_of flowers (the),everything cedar not stone he/it_appeared )

The expression opened ones is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language, here and in verses 29 and 35. Alternate translation: [and flowers that had opened]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

אֵ֥ין אֶ֖בֶן נִרְאָֽה

not stone he/it_appeared

The expression was seen is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [no one saw any stone]
