UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπεν & αὐτῷ ὁ Κύριος, λῦσον τὸ ὑπόδημα τῶν ποδῶν σου, ὁ γὰρ τόπος ἐφ’ ᾧ ἕστηκας γῆ ἁγία ἐστίν

said & ˱to˲_him the Lord untie the sandal ˱of˲_the feet ˱of˲_you the for place on which ˱you˲_/have/_stood ground holy is

If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [the Lord told Moses to untie the sandals that were on his feet, because the place on which he was standing was holy ground]

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction

λῦσον τὸ ὑπόδημα τῶν ποδῶν σου, ὁ γὰρ τόπος ἐφ’ ᾧ ἕστηκας γῆ ἁγία ἐστίν

untie the sandal ˱of˲_the feet ˱of˲_you the for place on which ˱you˲_/have/_stood ground holy is

In this culture, removing footwear was a symbolic way of acknowledging that a place was sacred. Footwear that had been worn elsewhere should not touch it. Your readers may understand the symbolic meaning of this action. If not, you could explain it in your translation. Alternate translation: [Untie your sandals and remove them to acknowledge that the place on which you are standing is holy ground]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

λῦσον τὸ ὑπόδημα τῶν ποδῶν σου

untie the sandal ˱of˲_the feet ˱of˲_you

The implication is that God wanted Moses not only to untie his sandals but also to remove them. Alternate translation: [Untie your sandals and remove them from your feet]

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

τὸ ὑπόδημα τῶν ποδῶν σου

the sandal ˱of˲_the feet ˱of˲_you

Since this refers to both sandals, it might be more natural in your language to use the plural form of sandals. If your language uses the dual form, it would be appropriate to use that here. Alternate translation: [the sandals on your feet] or [the sandals you are wearing]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ γὰρ τόπος ἐφ’ ᾧ ἕστηκας γῆ ἁγία ἐστίν

the the for place on which ˱you˲_/have/_stood ground holy is

The implication is that where God is present, the immediate area around God is considered or made holy by God. Alternate translation: [for the place on which you are standing has been made holy by my presence]
