OET interlinear NUM 6:21

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

הַ⁠נָּזִיר֮

of,the_Nazirite

Yahweh is not referring to a specific Nazirite. He means Nazirites in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. See how you translated the similar phrase in [6:13](../06/13.md). Alternate translation: [the Nazirites]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִדֹּר֒ קָרְבָּנ֤⁠וֹ לַֽ⁠יהוָה֙ עַל־נִזְר֔⁠וֹ

which/who vows offering_of,his to/for=YHWH on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in consecration_of,his

By upon his separation, Yahweh means after the time of being a Nazirite is completed. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [who vows to present this offering to Yahweh after his separation]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עַל־נִזְר֔⁠וֹ

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in consecration_of,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of separation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [after he has been separate]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

אֲשֶׁר־תַּשִּׂ֣יג יָד֑⁠וֹ

which/who she_can_afford his/its=hand

Yahweh is using what his hand reaches as a common expression of this culture to mean “whatever else he can give” or “whatever more he can afford.” 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: [whatever else he can give]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

כְּ⁠פִ֤י נִדְר⁠וֹ֙

according,to_the_mouth_of his_vow_of,his

Yahweh is speaking of his vow as if it were a living thing that had a mouth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [According to the words of his vow]

Note 6 topic: writing-poetry

נִדְר⁠וֹ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יִדֹּ֔ר

his_vow_of,his which/who makes

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: [what he vowed]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

תּוֹרַ֥ת נִזְרֽ⁠וֹ

law_of his_consecration_of,his

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of separation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the law concerning when people make themselves separate]
