OET interlinear 1SA 30:2

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִ⁠קָּטֹ֣ן וְ⁠עַד־גָּד֔וֹל

from,small and=unto big/great

The author is not using this phrase to describe the women of the city. He is using it to describe the other dependent family members, including children and older adults, whom David’s men had left behind when they marched out with the Philistine army. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and all the other people, from small and to great]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / merism

מִ⁠קָּטֹ֣ן וְ⁠עַד־גָּד֔וֹל

from,small and=unto big/great

Here the terms small and great refer to people’s ages. The author is speaking of two extremes in order to mean them and everything in between. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [and all the other people of all ages]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אִ֑ישׁ

(a)_man

Here the masculine term man has a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use language in your translation that is clearly inclusive of both men and women. Alternate translation: [anyone]
