and,he_will_bring_near the_[one,who]_brings_near offering_of,his to/for=YHWH

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

וְ⁠הִקְרִ֛יב הַ⁠מַּקְרִ֥יב קָרְבָּנ֖⁠וֹ

and,he_will_bring_near the_[one,who]_brings_near offering_of,his

The author is speaking of the one presenting in the third person as the one presenting even though this is an instruction to the same people who are addressed in [verse 5](../15/05.md) as “you.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person singular. Alternate translation: [then you who are presenting shall present your offering]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

קָרְבָּנ֖⁠וֹ

offering_of,his

Here the masculine term his has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [his or her offering]

לַֽ⁠יהוָ֑ה

to/for=YHWH

Yahweh is speaking of himself in the third person as Yahweh. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [to me, Yahweh]
