תַקְרִ֛ב

bring

As the Introduction to this chapter discusses, to this point the author of Leviticus has been using third-person singular pronouns. In this verse, the author of Leviticus starts using second-person singular pronouns. If you have been using the third-person pronouns and the switch to the second-person pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could continue to use the third-person pronouns in your translation.

מַאֲפֵ֣ה תַנּ֑וּר

baked_of oven

This possessive form describes a baked item as having been baked, or cooked by dry heat without exposure to a flame, in an oven. If your language would not use a possessive form in this way, you could express the same meaning in another way. Alternate translation: [an item that you baked in the oven” or, in the third person, “an item that a person baked in the oven]

מַאֲפֵ֣ה תַנּ֑וּר

baked_of oven

In the world of ancient Israel, an oven was a hollow cylindrical construction likely made of clay or rock. A wood fire was lit under or at the bottom portion of the oven; the resulting heat would bake the dough inserted inside it. If your readers would not be familiar with what an oven is, you could use the name of a comparable object in your culture or you could use a general expression.

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [you shall mix flour of unleavened loaves with oil or you shall anoint unleavened wafers with oil” or, in the third person, “he shall mix flour of loaves of unleavened bread with oil, or he shall anoint wafers of unleavened bread with oil]

fine_flour_of cakes unleavened mixed in/on/at/with,oil

This possessive form describes flour that has been kneaded and formed into loaves that, once baked, would consist of unleavened bread. If your language would not use a possessive form in this way, you could express the same meaning in another way. Alternative translation: “flour that you have mixed with oil and shaped into unleavened loaves” or, in the third person, “flour that he mixed with oil and shaped into unleavened loaves
