Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וְלִבְנֵ֥י קְהָ֖ת לֹ֣א נָתָ֑ן כִּֽי־עֲבֹדַ֤ת הַקֹּ֨דֶשׁ֙ עֲלֵהֶ֔ם
and,to,the_descendants_of Qəhāt not give that/for/because/then/when service_of of,the_holy_thing[s] [was]_on,them
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [But the service of the holy place was upon the sons of Kohath, so he did not give to them]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
לֹ֣א נָתָ֑ן
not give
The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. In he did not give, he does not say what Moses did not give to the Kohathites. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [he did not give any wagons or cattle]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
עֲבֹדַ֤ת
service_of
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of service, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [serving]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
הַקֹּ֨דֶשׁ֙
of,the_holy_thing[s]
Here, the holy place represents the sacred items that were kept in the holy place. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [the things in the holy place]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
עֲלֵהֶ֔ם
[was]_on,them
Here, the author is speaking of the responsibility of caring for the holy items as if it were a physical burden that was upon the Kohathites. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [was their duty]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
יִשָּֽׂאוּ
carried
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: [They carried the holy things]
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
בַּכָּתֵ֖ף
on,shoulder
The author is not referring to a specific shoulder. He means their shoulders in general. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use an expression that would be more natural in your language. Alternate translation: [on their shoulders]
OET (OET-LV) And_to_the_descendants_of Qəhāt not he_gave if/because the_service_of the_holy_thing[s] was_on_them on_shoulder they_carried.
OET (OET-RV) However, the Kohaties weren’t given any because they were responsible for carrying the very holy objects, and those had to be carried on their shoulders.
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.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
