hands_of Zərubāⱱel laid_the_foundation the,house the=this and,hands_of,his complete
Here, hands represents the work and effort of a person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [Zerubbabel’s work has founded this house, and his work will complete it.]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וְיָ֣דַעְתָּ֔
and,you_will_know
The pronoun you refers to Zerubbabel. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And you, Zerubbabel, will know]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
אֲלֵיכֶֽם
to,you(pl)
The word you is plural here because Yahweh is addressing the people, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
שְׁלָחַ֥נִי אֲלֵיכֶֽם
he,has_sent_me to,you(pl)
The pronoun me could refer to 1) the angel speaking to Zechariah. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [has sent his angelic messenger to you] 2) to Zechariah. Alternate translation: [has sent me, Zechariah, to you]

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.
