OET interlinear LEV 12:7

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵ֤י יְהוָה֙

to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH

See how you translated this expression in 1:3.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וְ⁠כִפֶּ֣ר עָלֶ֔י⁠הָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he,will_present_it to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,he_will_make_atonement on/upon=it(f) and,she_will_be_pure from,the_spring_of her_blood(s)_of,her this(f) law_of of,the_[one_who]_gives_birth for,male or for,female )

See how you translated the abstract noun atonement in 1:4. However, in your translation, make it clear that the woman does not need atonement because of any sin on her part. Here, the sacrifices performed by the priest provide for the removal of impurity from the women—in this case, impurity acquired by the presence of blood that had discharged from the woman’s body, not by any sin but as is normal following childbirth. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers in a footnote or in the text of your translation.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠טָהֲרָ֖ה מִ⁠מְּקֹ֣ר דָּמֶ֑י⁠הָ

and,she_will_be_pure (Some words not found in UHB: and,he,will_present_it to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,he_will_make_atonement on/upon=it(f) and,she_will_be_pure from,the_spring_of her_blood(s)_of,her this(f) law_of of,the_[one_who]_gives_birth for,male or for,female )

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: [And Yahweh will cleanse her from the flow of her blood]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִ⁠מְּקֹ֣ר דָּמֶ֑י⁠הָ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he,will_present_it to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,he_will_make_atonement on/upon=it(f) and,she_will_be_pure from,the_spring_of her_blood(s)_of,her this(f) law_of of,the_[one_who]_gives_birth for,male or for,female )

The implication of the phrase purified from the flow of her blood is that the woman was made impure because of the presence of blood discharging from her body. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [from the impurity that she acquired because of the bloody discharge related to childbirth]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

תּוֹרַת֙ הַ⁠יֹּלֶ֔דֶת לַ⁠זָּכָ֖ר א֥וֹ לַ⁠נְּקֵבָֽה

law_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,he,will_present_it to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,he_will_make_atonement on/upon=it(f) and,she_will_be_pure from,the_spring_of her_blood(s)_of,her this(f) law_of of,the_[one_who]_gives_birth for,male or for,female )

This expression uses the possessive form to describe these instructions that pertain to women who gave birth, whether to boys or girls. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [is the law that pertains to the woman who bears a male or a female]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

הַ⁠יֹּלֶ֔דֶת לַ⁠זָּכָ֖ר א֥וֹ לַ⁠נְּקֵבָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he,will_present_it to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before YHWH and,he_will_make_atonement on/upon=it(f) and,she_will_be_pure from,the_spring_of her_blood(s)_of,her this(f) law_of of,the_[one_who]_gives_birth for,male or for,female )

Alternate translation: [the woman who births either a son or a daughter]
