OET interlinear 1 KI 7:23

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יַּ֥עַשׂ אֶת־הַ⁠יָּ֖ם מוּצָ֑ק

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_made DOM the=sea throw ten by,cubit from,lip_of,its until lip_of,its round around and_[was],five by,cubit height_of,its and,a_measuring-line_of thirty by,cubit encircle DOM=him/it circumference )

Here, the term cast 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: [And he made a sea by casting it in bronze]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־הַ⁠יָּ֖ם מוּצָ֑ק

DOM (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_made DOM the=sea throw ten by,cubit from,lip_of,its until lip_of,its round around and_[was],five by,cubit height_of,its and,a_measuring-line_of thirty by,cubit encircle DOM=him/it circumference )

This was a very large water basin. It was called a sea because it contained so much water. In your translation, you could indicate explicitly what it actually was if that would be helpful to your readers. The UST models one way to do that.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עֶ֣שֶׂר בָּ֠⁠אַמָּה

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_made DOM the=sea throw ten by,cubit from,lip_of,its until lip_of,its round around and_[was],five by,cubit height_of,its and,a_measuring-line_of thirty by,cubit encircle DOM=him/it circumference )

To translate the expression by the cubit here and in the rest of this chapter, see how you translated the same expression in [6:3](../06/03.md) and throughout chapter 6. Alternate translation: [ten cubits wide]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִ⁠שְּׂפָת֨⁠וֹ עַד־שְׂפָת֜⁠וֹ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_made DOM the=sea throw ten by,cubit from,lip_of,its until lip_of,its round around and_[was],five by,cubit height_of,its and,a_measuring-line_of thirty by,cubit encircle DOM=him/it circumference )

The author is using the term lip to mean the brim of this sea. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly here and in verses 24 and 26. Alternate translation: [from one brim to the other] or [across its width]
