uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠תִּסָּגֵ֥ר מִרְיָ֛ם

and,she_was_shut_up Miryām

The expression was shut up 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. See how you translated the similar clause in [12:14](../12/14.md). Alternate translation: [And the Israelites shut up Miriam]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠תִּסָּגֵ֥ר מִרְיָ֛ם

and,she_was_shut_up Miryām

The implication is that Miriam was shut up outside the camp, not that she was locked up. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. See how you translated the similar clause in [12:14](../12/14.md). Alternate translation: [And Miriam was banished]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִ⁠ח֥וּץ לַֽ⁠מַּחֲנֶ֖ה

from_[the],outside of,camp

The phrase from outside to the camp is a common expression of this culture that means “in the area away from the camp.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar phrase in [12:14](../12/14.md). Alternate translation: [in the area outside the camp]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

עַד־הֵאָסֵ֖ף מִרְיָֽם

until brought_in_again Miryām

The expression was gathered 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.
