וְאֵת֙ שֵׁ֣ם אַהֲרֹ֔ן תִּכְתֹּ֖ב עַל־מַטֵּ֣ה לֵוִ֑י כִּ֚י מַטֶּ֣ה אֶחָ֔ד לְרֹ֖אשׁ בֵּ֥ית אֲבוֹתָֽם

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [And because one staff is for the head of the house of their fathers, the name of Aaron you shall write on the staff of Levi]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
וְאֵת֙ שֵׁ֣ם אַהֲרֹ֔ן תִּכְתֹּ֖ב
and=DOM name_of ʼAhₐron's write
If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the information about writing before the information about the name of Aaron. Alternate translation: [And you shall write the name of Aaron]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מַטֵּ֣ה לֵוִ֑י
staff_of Lēvī
By the staff of Levi, Yahweh means another staff in addition to the twelve from the previous verse. See the chapter introduction for more information. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [on another staff, the staff of Levi]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
מַטֵּ֣ה לֵוִ֑י
staff_of Lēvī
Yahweh is using the possessive form to describe a staff that is characterized by representing the tribe of Levi. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the staff that represents Levi]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
לְרֹ֖אשׁ
[is]_for,the_head_of
Here Yahweh is speaking as if the leader of a tribe were the head of a body. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [is for the leader of]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בֵּ֥ית אֲבוֹתָֽם
house_of their_fathers_of,their
See how you translated this phrase in [verse 2](../../num/17/02.md). Alternate translation: [each ancestral tribe]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
