uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

כִּֽי־ יִקְנֶ֥ה נֶ֨פֶשׁ֙ קִנְיַ֣ן כַּסְפּ֔וֹ

that/for/because/then/when buys creature property_of (Some words not found in UHB: and,a_priest that/for/because/then/when buys creature property_of his_money_of,of he/it eat in/on/over=him/it and_(the),one_born_of his_household_of,of they eat in,his_of,food )

This expression uses the possessive form to describe a slave who is property characterized by their having been bought by the priest’s silver, that is, his money. If your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could use a generic expression. Additionally, here, silver represents any money or currency by which a priest would purchase a slave. If it would be helpful in your language, consider stating the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [when he buys a person and they become his property that he purchased with his money] or [when he buys a person with his own money and they become his property]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

he/it eat & (Some words not found in UHB: and,a_priest that/for/because/then/when buys creature property_of his_money_of,of he/it eat in/on/over=him/it and_(the),one_born_of his_household_of,of they eat in,his_of,food )

These expressions use the words himself and themselves to emphasize how significant it was that these slaves are permitted to eat the priest’s holy food. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this significance. Alternate translation: [even he may eat…they also may eat]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

ה֖וּא יֹ֣אכַל

he/it eat

Here, the word he refers to the slave that the priest purchased, not to the priest. If it would be helpful for your readers, consider making the referent explicit. Alternate translation: [that slave may eat]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

וִילִ֣יד בֵּית֔וֹ הֵ֖ם יֹאכְל֥וּ בְלַחְמֽוֹ׃

(Some words not found in UHB: and,a_priest that/for/because/then/when buys creature property_of his_money_of,of he/it eat in/on/over=him/it and_(the),one_born_of his_household_of,of they eat in,his_of,food )

Here, the word his refers to a priest, while the phrase the one born of his house refers to a child who is born from a slave residing in the priest’s household. This expression uses the plural they to refer to this slave, perhaps including the mother who gave birth to him or her. If it would be helpful in your language, consider making these referents explicit. Alternate translation: [And a slave who is born into a priest’s household—he and his parents may eat the priest’s bread]

This expression uses bread to represent the sacred portions of food that the priests received from the food gifts that the people of Israel offered to Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his food]
