OET interlinear NUM 10:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

עֲשֵׂ֣ה לְ⁠ךָ֗ & תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה & לְ⁠ךָ֙

make/work/create/deal to/for=yourself(m) & you(ms)_will_make & to/for=yourself(m)

The word you is singular here because Moses is being addressed individually. So use the singular form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עֲשֵׂ֣ה לְ⁠ךָ֗ שְׁתֵּי֙ חֲצֽוֹצְרֹ֣ת כֶּ֔סֶף & תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה

make/work/create/deal to/for=yourself(m) two(fd) trumpets_of silver & you(ms)_will_make

By Make for you, Yahweh means that Moses should have someone make the trumpets for him. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Let two trumpets of silver be made for you. Let them be made of]

Note 3 topic: translate-unknown

מִקְשָׁ֖ה

hammered_work

A hammered work is a kind of metalworking technique where a flat sheet of metal is shaped by striking it repeatedly. If your readers would not be familiar with what a hammered work is, you could use a more general term or explain it in a footnote. See how you translated this phrase in [8:4](../08/04.md). Alternate translation: [from a sheet of silver that was hammered into shape]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הָי֤וּ לְ⁠ךָ֙

and=they_will_be to/for=yourself(m)

The implication is that someone other than Moses would need to blow the trumpets. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and you shall have someone blow them]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

לְ⁠מִקְרָ֣א הָֽ⁠עֵדָ֔ה וּ⁠לְ⁠מַסַּ֖ע אֶת־הַֽ⁠מַּחֲנֽוֹת

for,the_convocation_of of,the_congregation and,for,breaking DOM the,camps

If your language does not use abstract nouns for the ideas of assembly and departure, you could express the same ideas in other ways. Alternate translation: [to signal the congregation to assemble and to signal the camps to depart]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֶת־הַֽ⁠מַּחֲנֽוֹת

DOM the,camps

Here, camps represents the groups of people living in the camps. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the people in the camps]
