uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־הֶ⁠חָ֡ג

DOM the,festival

By the feast, the author means the Festival of Booths (also known as the Festival of Shelters or Tabernacles). You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the Feast of Booths]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עִמּ⁠וֹ֩

and=all (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_made Shəlomoh/(Solomon) at,time (the),that DOM the,festival and=all Yisrael with=him/it assembly big/great from,Lebo Ḩₐmāt until wadi_of Miʦrayim/(Egypt) to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH God_of,our seven_of days and,seven_of days four ten day )

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: [and all of Israel observed the feast with him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

וְ⁠כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל עִמּ⁠וֹ֩

The author is saying all of Israel with him as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [and all of the Israelites who were present observed the feast with him]

The author is referring to all of Israel’s territory by naming two extremes, Lebo Hamath (the northern boundary) and the wadi of Egypt (the southern boundary). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [from throughout the territory of Israel]
