uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֹא־הוּבָ֣א אֶת־דָּמָ֔⁠הּ אֶל־הַ⁠קֹּ֖דֶשׁ פְּנִ֑ימָה

not brought DOM blood_of,its to/towards the,sanctuary inside

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [this sacrifice did not require the priests to bring its blood into the inner Holy Place]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לֹא־הוּבָ֣א אֶת־דָּמָ֔⁠הּ אֶל־הַ⁠קֹּ֖דֶשׁ פְּנִ֑ימָה

not brought DOM blood_of,its to/towards the,sanctuary inside

According to [6:23](../06/23.md), sin offerings that required the priest to bring the blood of the animal into the inner sanctuary of the Holy Place could not be eaten by the priests. Rather, this variety of sin offerings had to be burned completely. Moses is saying that because the sin offering presented by the people was not this particular kind of sin offering, it should have been eaten by the priests. If this would not be clear to your readers, consider explaining the significance of this statement in a footnote or in the text of your translation. Alternate translation: [if the blood of the sin offering had been brought into the inner Holy Place, it could not have been eaten. But since it was the sin offering that the people presented, it did not require this]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

אֶת־דָּמָ֔⁠הּ

DOM blood_of,its

Here, the possessive pronoun its refers to the sin offering. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the blood of the sin offering]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠קֹּ֖דֶשׁ פְּנִ֑ימָה

the,sanctuary inside

The inner Holy Place refers to the space within the tent of meeting, particularly, the space of the inner tent known as the Holy of Holies. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the interior section of the tent of the Holy Place]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

אָכ֨וֹל תֹּאכְל֥וּ אֹתָ֛⁠הּ

to_eat eaten DOM=her/it

This expression repeats the verb eat in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [You must certainly eat it]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

תֹּאכְל֥וּ

eaten

Here the pronoun you is plural. It refers to Aaron and his sons, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction. Alternate translation: [you must eat]
