OET interlinear NUM 27:17

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

אֲשֶׁר יֵצֵ֣א לִ⁠פְנֵי⁠הֶ֗ם וַ⁠אֲשֶׁ֤ר יָבֹא֙ לִ⁠פְנֵי⁠הֶ֔ם וַ⁠אֲשֶׁ֥ר יוֹצִיאֵ֖⁠ם וַ⁠אֲשֶׁ֣ר יְבִיאֵ֑⁠ם

which/who go_out before,,them and=which come_in before,,them and=which he,will_lead_them_out and=which he,will_bring_them

Moses is referring to all of the activities of leading the people by naming two major components, go out and come in. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [who will lead them in all their activities and who will direct them in everything they do]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לִ⁠פְנֵי⁠הֶ֗ם

before,,them

Here, their face represents the presence of the people, that is, being in front of them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [before them]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

וְ⁠לֹ֤א תִהְיֶה֙ עֲדַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה כַּ⁠צֹּ֕אן אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵין לָ⁠הֶ֖ם רֹעֶֽה

and=not be congregation_of YHWH like,sheep which/who not to/for=them shepherd

The point of this comparison is that just as sheep without a shepherd have no one to lead and protect them, so the congregation of Yahweh would have no one to lead and protect them if Yahweh did not appoint a leader. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [and the congregation of Yahweh will not be left without anyone to lead and protect them]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

עֲדַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה

congregation_of YHWH

Moses is using this possessive form to mean the congregation that belongs to Yahweh. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [the congregation that belongs to Yahweh]
