The phrase there is not to it fins and scales is meant to distinguish the unclean sea creatures from the clean sea creatures. This expression establishes criteria by which the people of Israel may determine whether a creature that lives in the water, regardless of whether it lives in the seas or in the rivers, is acceptable for eating. The animal must possess both fins and scales. If an animal fulfills only one of these criteria, it should be considered a detestable thing and should be avoided. Alternate translation: [does not have both fins and scales]

Alternate translation: [But anything that does not have both fins and scales]

This expression uses the possessive form to describe swarming fish that live in water, that is, schools of small fish that swim together in large numbers. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a generic expression. Alternate translation: [from every fish that swarms in large numbers and lives in the water]

וּמִכֹּ֛ל נֶ֥פֶשׁ הַחַיָּ֖ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר בַּמָּ֑יִם
(Some words not found in UHB: and=all/each/any/every which/who not to=him/it fins and,scale in_the=seas and,in,wadis from=all swarm(n) the=waters and=from=all creature the=living which/who [is]_in,waters detestable they to,you(pl) )
This expression, life of a living thing, uses the possessive form to describe living things that are both living, breathing creatures and live in water. Whereas the expression swarming thing of the water refers to schools of small fish, this expression likely refers to larger fish and mammals that live in water. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a generic expression. Alternate translation: [and from every living creature that lives in the water]

OET (OET-RV) In contrast, anything in the oceans or rivers without both fins and scales, whether they’re swarming creatures or otherwise, they’ll all be detestable for you all.
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.
