Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

מְלֵאֹ֣ת קְטֹ֔רֶת

The expression full of incense 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: [which they had filled with incense]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

עֲשָׂרָ֧ה עֲשָׂרָ֛ה הַ⁠כַּ֖ף

ten ten the,pan

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [The palm-sized bowl weighed ten, ten shekels]

Note 4 topic: translate-bweight

עֲשָׂרָ֧ה עֲשָׂרָ֛ה

ten ten

These words Ten, ten refer to ten shekels, which was about 114 grams or 4 ounces. See how you translated this weight in [7:14](../07/14.md). In your translation, you could use the ancient measurement and spell the word “shekel” the way it sounds in your language. You could also use the metric measurement given in the UST or use the measurement that your language and culture customarily use. Alternatively, you could use the ancient measurement and put a modern measurement in parentheses in the text or in a footnote.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

עֲשָׂרָ֧ה עֲשָׂרָ֛ה

ten ten

The author is using Ten, ten as a common expression of his culture to mean “ten each” or “ten shekels per bowl.” 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: [Ten each]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

הַ⁠כַּ֖ף

the,pan

The author is not referring to a specific palm-sized bowl. He means each of the palm-sized bowls. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [each palm-sized bowl]

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

בְּ⁠שֶׁ֣קֶל הַ⁠קֹּ֑דֶשׁ

by,the_shekel_of of,the_holy_place

The author is using the possessive form to describe a shekel that was used in the holy place. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. See how you translated this phrase in [7:13](../07/13.md). Alternate translation: [in the shekel that is used in the holy place]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

Alternatively, you could use the ancient measurement and put a modern measurement in parentheses in the text or in a footnote.
