OET interlinear NUM 10:12

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠מַסְעֵי⁠הֶ֖ם

to,their_settings_of,out

Here, the word departures could refer to: (1) the way each group of three tribes left its campsite. This is probably what the word means in [10:28](../10/28.md). Alternate translation: [according to their order of departure] (2) multiple times in a row when the Israelites left their campsite. This is what the word means in [33:1–2](../33/01.md). Alternate translation: [with many campsites] or [on their many journeys]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לְ⁠מַסְעֵי⁠הֶ֖ם

to,their_settings_of,out

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of departures, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [according to how they departed]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וַ⁠יִּשְׁכֹּ֥ן הֶ⁠עָנָ֖ן

and,it_settled_down the,cloud

The author is speaking of the cloud as if it were a living thing that could dwell in a place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase in [9:17](../09/17.md). Alternate translation: [and Yahweh had the cloud stop and stay]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בְּ⁠מִדְבַּ֥ר פָּארָֽן

in,the_wilderness_of Pāʼrān

The author is using the possessive form to describe a wilderness that is near Paran. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [in the wilderness that was near Paran]
