OET interlinear LEV 7:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

אִ֣ם עַל־תּוֹדָה֮ יַקְרִיבֶ⁠נּוּ֒

if on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in thanksgiving offers,it

Here the author of Leviticus does not use the future tense to describe future action, as if he were here referring to a specific instance where an individual would perform this specific action. Rather, the future tense is being used to depict a hypothetical situation. If it would be helpful in your language, consider choosing language that makes it plain that the author is not referring to a specific future action. Alternate translation: [If, hypothetically, he is presenting it for thanksgiving]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

יַקְרִיבֶ⁠נּוּ֒

offers,it

Here and throughout the following verses, the word he refers generally to anyone who might present this kind of sacrifice to Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, consider using a generic term for a person. Alternate translation: [someone will present it] or [anyone will present it]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

יַקְרִיבֶ⁠נּוּ֒

offers,it

The pronoun it refers to the peace offerings. If it would be helpful in your language, consider making the referent explicit. Alternate translation: [he will present a sacrifice of peace offerings]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עַל־תּוֹדָה֮

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in thanksgiving

The expression for thanksgiving refers to the unique circumstance in which a person might offer a peace offering for the specific purpose of expressing gratitude or thanks to Yahweh for something Yahweh did in his life. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word thanksgiving, you could express the same idea in a verbal form. Alternate translation: [for the purpose of expressing gratitude to Yahweh]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

חַלּ֤וֹת מַצּוֹת֙ בְּלוּלֹ֣ת בַּ⁠שֶּׁ֔מֶן &  וְ⁠סֹ֣לֶת מֻרְבֶּ֔כֶת חַלֹּ֖ת בְּלוּלֹ֥ת בַּ⁠שָּֽׁמֶן

cakes unleavened mixed in/on/at/with,oil & and,fine_flour well-kneaded cakes mixed in/on/at/with,oil

Based on the similar expression found in [2:4](../02/04.md), the expressions loaves of unleavened bread mixed with oil and loaves mixed with oil leave out some words that some languages might consider essential for understanding. If it would be helpful in your language, consider clarifying the expressions with the elided words. Alternate translation: [flour mixed with oil into loaves of unleavened bread … flour that has been well-mixed with oil into loaves] or [loaves of unleavened bread made of flour mixed with oil … flour that was mixed with oil to make loaves]
