OET interlinear NUM 3:3

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

אֵ֗לֶּה שְׁמוֹת֙ בְּנֵ֣י אַהֲרֹ֔ן הַ⁠כֹּהֲנִ֖ים

these names_of sons_of ʼAhₐron the,priests

It might seem that the expression These are the names of the sons of Aaron contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language, since the same words are in the previous verse. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [They are the priests]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

הַ⁠מְּשֻׁחִ֑ים אֲשֶׁר־מִלֵּ֥א יָדָ֖⁠ם

(the),anointed which/who he_ordained hand_of,their

The expressions the ones who were anointed and whose hand he filled are describing the same priests, not distinguishing between different priests. They are not making a distinction between the priests and the ones who were anointed or whose hand he filled. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this relationship between these phrases clearer. Alternate translation: [that is, the ones who were anointed and whose hand he filled]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

הַ⁠מְּשֻׁחִ֑ים

(the),anointed

The expression who were anointed 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. If you need to say who does the action, the context indicates that it is Moses. Alternate translation: [the ones whom Moses anointed]

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

אֲשֶׁר־מִלֵּ֥א יָדָ֖⁠ם לְ⁠כַהֵֽן

which/who he_ordained hand_of,their to,serve_as_priests

In this verse, the words hand and priest are singular in form, but they refer to all the priests as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use the plural forms of “hand” and “priest.” Alternate translation: [whose hands he filled to serve as priests]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֲשֶׁר־מִלֵּ֥א יָדָ֖⁠ם

which/who he_ordained hand_of,their

The author is using whose hand he filled as a common expression of his culture to mean “whom he dedicated as priests.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [whom he dedicated]
