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]

If your language would not use a possessive form in this way, you could express the same meaning in another way. Alternate 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]
