Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנַ⁠י֮

to/for=my=face/front

Samuel is using the expression to my face to mean “before” or “previous to.” He is telling Saul to go to Gilgal before he arrives there. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [ahead of me]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,you_will_go_down to/for=my=face/front (the),Gilgal and=see/lo/see! I come_down to,you to,offer_up burnt_offerings to,sacrifice offerings_of fellowship seven_of days wait until come,I to,you and,I_will_make_known to/for=yourself(m) DOM which/who do )

Samuel 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 showing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [to offer sacrifices of peace offerings]
