OET interlinear NUM 15:9

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

וְ⁠הִקְרִ֤יב

and,he_will_bring_near

The text shifts from speaking to the Israelites in the second person (you) in the previous verse to speaking of them in the third person as he in this verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the second person singular to match [verse 10](../15/10.md). Alternate translation: [then you shall present]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֶּן־הַ⁠בָּקָר֙

son_of of,the_herd

Here, the author is speaking as if a young bull were actually a son of cattle. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated this phrase in [verse 8](../15/08.md). Alternate translation: [the bull that is young]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

סֹ֖לֶת שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה עֶשְׂרֹנִ֑ים

fine_flour three tenths

The implication is that this amount is measured in ephahs. You may want to include the unit of measurement explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. See how you translated the similar phrase in [verse 4](../15/04.md), y. Alternate translation: [three tenths of an ephah of flour]

Note 4 topic: translate-bvolume

סֹ֖לֶת שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה עֶשְׂרֹנִ֑ים

fine_flour three tenths

The term three tenths refers to three tenths of an ephah, which was equivalent to about 6.6 liters or about 6 quarts. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this in terms of modern measurements, either in the text or in a footnote.

Note 5 topic: translate-fraction

שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה עֶשְׂרֹנִ֑ים & חֲצִ֥י

three tenths & half_of

A three tenths means three parts out of ten equal parts, and a half means one part out of two equal parts.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

בָּל֥וּל

mixed

The expression mixed 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 this word in [verse 4](../15/04.md). Alternate translation: [that someone has mixed]

Note 7 topic: translate-bvolume

בַּ⁠שֶּׁ֖מֶן חֲצִ֥י הַ⁠הִֽין

with,oil half_of of_(the),hin

A hin was equivalent to about four liters or one gallon. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this in terms of modern measurements, either in the text or in a footnote.

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

בַּ⁠שֶּׁ֖מֶן

with,oil

The author is not referring to specific oil. He means olive oil in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [oil]
