OET interlinear NUM 5:28

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

לֹ֤א נִטְמְאָה֙ הָֽ⁠אִשָּׁ֔ה וּ⁠טְהֹרָ֖ה הִ֑וא

not defiled the=woman and_[is],pure who/which

The phrases the woman was not made unclean and she is clean mean the same thing. For emphasis, Yahweh is saying it first negatively and then positively. If a speaker of your language would not use repetition like this, in your translation you can convey the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [the woman is completely clean]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

לֹ֤א נִטְמְאָה֙ הָֽ⁠אִשָּׁ֔ה

not defiled the=woman

The expression was not made unclean 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. Alternate translation: [the woman did not make herself unclean]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠נִקְּתָ֖ה

and,she_will_be_free

Here, the woman could be free: (1) from the negative affects of the water and the curse. This is what free explicitly refers to in [5:19](../05/19.md). Alternate translation: [then she will be free of the water and the curse] (2) from any declaration of guilt. Alternate translation: [then she will be free of guilt]

Note 4 topic: writing-poetry

וְ⁠נִזְרְעָ֥ה זָֽרַע

and,she_will_be_impregnated seed

Yahweh is using a construction in which a verb and its object come from the same root. You may be able to use the same construction in your language to express the meaning here. Alternatively, your language may have another way of saying this. Alternate translation: [and she will be sown successfully]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וְ⁠נִזְרְעָ֥ה זָֽרַע

and,she_will_be_impregnated seed

Here, Yahweh is speaking as if a woman’s ability to have children were the same as if someone were planting seed in a field. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and she will be able to have children]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠נִזְרְעָ֥ה זָֽרַע

and,she_will_be_impregnated seed

The expression will be sown 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 her husband. Alternate translation: [and her husband will sow her with seed]
