OET (OET-RV) However, they must never go early to set their eyes on the sacred objects, even briefly, or they’ll die.”
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וְלֹא־יָבֹ֧אוּ
and=not they_went
The pronoun they refers to the sons of Kohath. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [But the sons of Kohath shall not go]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְלֹא־יָבֹ֧אוּ
and=not they_went
The implication is that the Kohathites must not enter the sacred tent while Aaron and his sons are covering the holy items. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [But they shall not enter the sacred tent]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
כְּבַלַּ֥ע
as,a_swallowing
The expression when swallowing is a common expression of this culture that means “even for a moment.” 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: [even for a moment]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֶת־הַקֹּ֖דֶשׁ
DOM the_holy,thing
Here, holy place represents the things that belong in the holy place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. See how you translated the similar phrase in [4:15](../04/15.md). Alternate translation: [the things that belong in the holy place]
Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וָמֵֽתוּ
and,they_will_die
The words and die express the result of touching the holy place. If it would be more natural in your language, you could make this connection more explicit. See how you translated the similar phrase in [4:15](../04/15.md). Alternate translation: [which would cause them to die]
OET (OET-RV) However, they must never go early to set their eyes on the sacred objects, even briefly, or they’ll die.”
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.
