(Some words not found in UHB: beds and,basins and,a_vessel_of pottery and,wheat(s) and,barley(s) and,flour and,roasted_grain and,bean[s] and,lentils and,roasted_grain )

The main verb of this sentence, “brought,” occurs in the next verse. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine [17:28](../17/28.md) and [17:29](../17/29.md) into a verse bridge so that you can put the verb “brought” before the list of things that these men provided. You could also state the verb, which is implied in the context, in this verse and repeat it in the next verse. The UST models one way to do that.

Here, vessels of the potter represents “earthenware vessels” or “clay pots.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [earthenware vessels]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠קָלִ֑י & וְ⁠קָלִֽי

and,roasted_grain & and,roasted_grain

The term that the ULT translates as roasted grain is the same one that it translates as roasted beans, but the context suggests that the author is not listing the same item twice. Instead, this term describes the way in which the grain and beans were prepared.

and,bean[s] (Some words not found in UHB: beds and,basins and,a_vessel_of pottery and,wheat(s) and,barley(s) and,flour and,roasted_grain and,bean[s] and,lentils and,roasted_grain )

The term beans describes edible seeds that typically grow in pods. A lentil is a kind of small, round, edible seed. If your readers would not be familiar with these foods, you could use the name of a similar thing that your readers would recognize, or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [and peas and small beans]
