נַחֲלָת֔וֹ & נַחֲלָת֑וֹ
inheritance_of,its & inheritance_of,its
Here, Yahweh could be speaking about: (1) the clans of the Israelites that were listed earlier.

Alternate translation: [that tribe’s inheritance … that tribe’s inheritance]

for,many increase inheritance_of,its and,for,few decrease inheritance_of,its
Yahweh is using the adjectives many and few as nouns to mean certain kinds of groups. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate these adjectives with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: [For the numerous tribes you shall increase its inheritance, and for the small tribes you shall decrease its inheritance]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
אִ֚ישׁ לְפִ֣י פְקֻדָ֔יו
(a)_man to,the_mouth_of of,his_enrolled_[men]
Yahweh is not referring to a specific man. He means each of the tribes 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: [Each tribe to the mouth of its counted ones]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לְפִ֣י פְקֻדָ֔יו
to,the_mouth_of of,his_enrolled_[men]
Yahweh is using to the mouth of as a common expression of the culture to mean “in proportion to.” If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in proportion to the number of those counted for it]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
יֻתַּ֖ן נַחֲלָתֽוֹ
given inheritance_of,its
The expression shall be given is a passive verbal form. If it would be unnatural to use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [you shall give its inheritance]

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.
