וְ⁠הַ⁠גּוֹרָל֨וֹת הִפַּ֜לְנוּ

and,the,lots (Some words not found in UHB: and,the,lots throw on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in offering_of of,the_wood(s) the,priests the,Levites and,the,people to=bring to,the_house_of our_God_of,our to,the_house_of our_ancestors_of,our to,times appointed year in=year to,burn_[it] on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in altar_of YHWH God_of,our according,[what_is]_written in,law )

A lot was a physical object that was used in various ways to make a selection among different possibilities. Use the term in your language that would best describe such an object for your readers.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לְ⁠בֵ֨ית אֱלֹהֵ֧י⁠נוּ

to,the_house_of our_God_of,our

Here again the covenant speaks of the temple as the “house of God,” as if it were God’s dwelling place. Alternate translation: [the temple]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

לְ⁠בֵית־אֲבֹתֵ֛י⁠נוּ

to,the_house_of our_ancestors_of,our

This seems to be an abbreviated way of saying “our father’s houses.” The full expression “father’s house” or “house of the father” is used in [7:61](../07/61.md). See how you translated it there, and review the note there if that would be helpful. Alternate translation: [taking turns by clan]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

שָׁנָ֣ה בְ⁠שָׁנָ֑ה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,lots throw on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in offering_of of,the_wood(s) the,priests the,Levites and,the,people to=bring to,the_house_of our_God_of,our to,the_house_of our_ancestors_of,our to,times appointed year in=year to,burn_[it] on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in altar_of YHWH God_of,our according,[what_is]_written in,law )

This is an idiom that means “each year” or “every year.”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לְ⁠בַעֵ֗ר

to,burn_[it]

Burning is an abstract noun that describes how the wood these families agreed to bring to the temple would be used for fuel for the sacrifices offered on the altar. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate the idea behind it with a verb such as “burn.” You could also say who would do the action. Alternate translation: [for the Levites to burn]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

כַּ⁠כָּת֖וּב בַּ⁠תּוֹרָֽה

(Some words not found in UHB: and,the,lots throw on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in offering_of of,the_wood(s) the,priests the,Levites and,the,people to=bring to,the_house_of our_God_of,our to,the_house_of our_ancestors_of,our to,times appointed year in=year to,burn_[it] on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in altar_of YHWH God_of,our according,[what_is]_written in,law )

If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this with an active form. Alternate translation: [as the law commands]
