OET interlinear NUM 11:26

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יִּשָּׁאֲר֣וּ שְׁנֵֽי־אֲנָשִׁ֣ים

and,they_had_remained two_of men

The expression were left is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [And two of the men remained]

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

הָ⁠אֶחָ֣ד

the=one

If your language would not represent a number in a form such as the one, you could represent this number in a form that your language would use. Alternate translation: [the first]

Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal

הַ⁠שֵּׁנִ֨י

the=second

If your language would not represent a number in a form such as the second, you could represent this number in a form that your language would use. Alternate translation: [the other] or [number two]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וַ⁠תָּ֧נַח עֲלֵי⁠הֶ֣ם הָ⁠ר֗וּחַ וְ⁠הֵ֨מָּה֙ בַּ⁠כְּתֻבִ֔ים וְ⁠לֹ֥א יָצְא֖וּ הָ⁠אֹ֑הֱלָ⁠ה וַ⁠יִּֽתְנַבְּא֖וּ בַּֽ⁠מַּחֲנֶֽה

and,it_rested on,them the,spirit and,they [were]_among,written and=not they_came_out to,the,tent and,they_prophesied in,camp

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about they were among the written ones with the information about they did not go out to the tent before stating that the Spirit rested on them, and they prophesied in the camp. Alternate translation: [And they were among the written ones, but they did not go out to the tent. And the spirit rested on them, and they prophesied in the camp]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠תָּ֧נַח עֲלֵי⁠הֶ֣ם הָ⁠ר֗וּחַ

and,it_rested on,them the,spirit

See how you translated the similar phrase in [11:26](../11/26.md).

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בַּ⁠כְּתֻבִ֔ים

[were]_among,written

The implication is that these men were among those who had been selected and registered as leaders. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [among those whose names were written down as chosen leaders]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בַּ⁠כְּתֻבִ֔ים

[were]_among,written

The expression among the written ones is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is Moses. Alternate translation: [among the ones whose names Moses had written down]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / go

וְ⁠לֹ֥א יָצְא֖וּ

and=not they_came_out

Here, the author speaks of going to the sacred tent as “going out.” However, the sacred tent was in the center of the campsite. If a speaker of your language would not use the phrase go out for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [but they did not approach]
