uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

אִ֣ישׁ מדין

(a)_man great

The author is using the possessive form to describe a man who was characterized by great stature or height. If a speaker of your language would not use the possessive form for this, you could express this idea in another way. Alternate translation: [a very tall man]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וְ⁠אֶצְבְּעֹ֣ת יָדָי⁠ו֩ וְ⁠אֶצְבְּעֹ֨ת רַגְלָ֜י⁠ו שֵׁ֣שׁ וָ⁠שֵׁ֗שׁ

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_became again/more battle at,Gath and=he/it_was (a)_man great and,the_fingers_of his_hands_of,his and,the_toes_of his_feet_of,his six and,six twenty and=four number and=also he/it he/it_was_born to,the,Raphah )

If it would be more natural in your language, you may want to put the number of each type of digit with the name of each body part. Alternate translation: [and he had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

שֵׁ֣שׁ וָ⁠שֵׁ֗שׁ עֶשְׂרִ֤ים וְ⁠אַרְבַּע֙ מִסְפָּ֔ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and=it_became again/more battle at,Gath and=he/it_was (a)_man great and,the_fingers_of his_hands_of,his and,the_toes_of his_feet_of,his six and,six twenty and=four number and=also he/it he/it_was_born to,the,Raphah )

The author is repeating the information about the number of digits that this man of stature had, presenting it in two different forms to emphasize how striking it is. You may find it appropriate to repeat the information in your translation in order to convey that emphasis, even if this would otherwise be extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. Alternate translation: [were 6 and 6, for a total of 24 digits in all]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וְ⁠גַם־ה֖וּא יֻלַּ֥ד לְ⁠הָ⁠רָפָֽה

and=also he/it (Some words not found in UHB: and=it_became again/more battle at,Gath and=he/it_was (a)_man great and,the_fingers_of his_hands_of,his and,the_toes_of his_feet_of,his six and,six twenty and=four number and=also he/it he/it_was_born to,the,Raphah )

The expression was born is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [And he too was a descendant of Rapha]
