The author is providing background information to help readers understand how what happened in this story is the source of a cultural practice with which they may be familiar. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בֵּית־דָּג֛וֹן
house_of Dāgōn
See how you translated the similar expression in [5:2](../05/02.md). Alternate translation: [the temple of Dagon]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
דָג֜וֹן & מִפְתַּ֥ן
Dāgōn & threshold_of
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 threshold of the temple of Dagon]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה
until the=day the,this
See the discussion of this phrase in the Introduction to 1 Samuel. The author is using this phrase to refer to the time when he was writing. In your translation, make clear that the phrase refers to a time that is now in the past. Avoid giving the impression the phrase means “to the present day.” Alternate translation: [right up to the time of this writing]
5:5 step on its threshold: While the Philistines might have believed that Dagon’s amputations resulted from their failure to honor the god properly, the true failure was in worshiping an idol rather than honoring the one true God (Isa 44:6-20).

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.
