that/for/because/then/when sold to/for=yourself(m) your(ms)=brother/kindred the,Hebrew or the,Hebrew and,serves,you six years and,in/on/at/with,year the,seventh set,him

Moses is describing a hypothetical situation in order to tell the Israelites what they should do if it takes place. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a situation that could happen. Alternate translation: “Suppose your brother, a Hebrew man or Hebrew woman, is sold to you and serves you six years, then in the seventh year you should send him out”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אָחִ֣י⁠ךָ

your(ms)=brother/kindred

Here, brother means “fellow Israelite.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “your fellow countryman”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

יִמָּכֵ֨ר לְ⁠ךָ֜

sold to/for=yourself(m)

When someone could not pay their debts, he or she would sell himself or herself to work for their creditor to pay back their debt. See the chapter introduction for more information. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “is sold to you to pay his debt”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

יִמָּכֵ֨ר לְ⁠ךָ֜ אָחִ֣י⁠ךָ הָֽ⁠עִבְרִ֗י א֚וֹ הָֽ⁠עִבְרִיָּ֔ה

sold to/for=yourself(m) your(ms)=brother/kindred the,Hebrew or the,Hebrew

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, becomes your slave”

Note 5 topic: translate-ordinal

וּ⁠בַ⁠שָּׁנָה֙ הַ⁠שְּׁבִיעִ֔ת

and,in/on/at/with,year the,seventh

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “then in year seven”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

תְּשַׁלְּחֶ֥⁠נּוּ

set,him

Here Moses is speaking of freeing a slave as if one were sending out a messenger from their house. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you must liberate him”
