OET interlinear NUM 15:35

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

מ֥וֹת יוּמַ֖ת הָ⁠אִ֑ישׁ

to_die he_must_die the=man

Yahweh is repeating forms of the verb dying in order to intensify his expression of the idea that it conveys. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the intensification. Alternate translation: [The man shall surely be put to death]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

מ֥וֹת יוּמַ֖ת הָ⁠אִ֑ישׁ

to_die he_must_die the=man

The expression shall be put to death 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 the Israelites. Alternate translation: [The Israelites shall put the man, dying, to death]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יוּמַ֖ת הָ⁠אִ֑ישׁ

he_must_die the=man

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of death, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the man shall be killed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

רָג֨וֹם אֹת֤⁠וֹ בָֽ⁠אֲבָנִים֙

stone DOM=him/it with,stones

It might seem that the expression stoning him with the stones contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [stoning him]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

בָֽ⁠אֲבָנִים֙

with,stones

Here, stones means stones in general, not specific stones. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [with stones]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

מִ⁠ח֖וּץ לַֽ⁠מַּחֲנֶֽה

from_[the],outside of,camp

Yahweh is using from outside to the camp as a common expression of this culture to mean “in the area outside 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]
