Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל
(Some words not found in UHB: tell to/towards ʼElˊāzār son_of ʼAhₐron the=priest/officer and,let_him_take_up DOM the,censers from,between the,burning and=DOM the,fire scatter far_and_wide that/for/because/then/when holy )
Here, the sons of Israel represents the people or descendants of Israel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the people of Israel]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
מַטֶּ֣ה מַטֶּה֩ לְבֵ֨ית אָ֜ב מֵאֵ֤ת כָּל־נְשִֽׂיאֵהֶם֙ לְבֵ֣ית אֲבֹתָ֔ם שְׁנֵ֥ים עָשָׂ֖ר מַטּ֑וֹת
(Some words not found in UHB: tell to/towards ʼElˊāzār son_of ʼAhₐron the=priest/officer and,let_him_take_up DOM the,censers from,between the,burning and=DOM the,fire scatter far_and_wide that/for/because/then/when holy )
If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about how many staffs there were before the information about whom the staffs represented. You may also be able to combine or shorten some of the phrases. Alternate translation: [12 staffs, one for each of the leaders for the house of each of their fathers]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לְבֵ֨ית אָ֜ב & לְבֵ֣ית אֲבֹתָ֔ם
(Some words not found in UHB: tell to/towards ʼElˊāzār son_of ʼAhₐron the=priest/officer and,let_him_take_up DOM the,censers from,between the,burning and=DOM the,fire scatter far_and_wide that/for/because/then/when holy )
Here and throughout this chapter, the phrases house of a father and house of their fathers refer to whole tribes. This is unlike Numbers 3-4, where the phrases refer to the largest divisions within each tribe. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [for an ancestral tribe … for each of their ancestral tribes]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
אִ֣ישׁ אֶת־שְׁמ֔וֹ תִּכְתֹּ֖ב עַל־מַטֵּֽהוּ
(Some words not found in UHB: tell to/towards ʼElˊāzār son_of ʼAhₐron the=priest/officer and,let_him_take_up DOM the,censers from,between the,burning and=DOM the,fire scatter far_and_wide that/for/because/then/when holy )
If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about writing before the information about each man’s name. Alternate translation: [You shall write each man’s name on his staff]
OET (OET-LV) [fn] speak to ʼElˊāzār the_son_of ʼAhₐron the_priest/officer and_let_him_take_up DOM the_censers from_between the_burning and_DOM the_fire scatter beyond if/because they_are_holy.
