TSNTyndale Study Notes:

17:16 never return to Egypt: Going there would show a king’s lack of dependence on God, who had redeemed Israel from bondage to Egypt. The best horses were found in Egypt (see 1 Kgs 10:28-29).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

רַק֮

only

Moses uses the word Only here to indicate a strong contrast between what is allowed and not allowed for Israel’s king. In your translation, indicate this strong contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “But”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

לֹא־יַרְבֶּה & הַרְבּ֣וֹת

not acquire_many & acquire_many

Here, multiply means “acquire a large number of.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he shall not keep acquiring more and more … he may acquire more and more”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠לֹֽא־יָשִׁ֤יב אֶת־הָ⁠עָם֙ מִצְרַ֔יְמָ⁠ה לְמַ֖עַן הַרְבּ֣וֹת ס֑וּס

and=not cause_~_toreturn DOM the,people Egypt,to to acquire_many horses

This could mean that the king must not: (1) send people to Egypt to buy horses for him. Alternate translation: “to buy more horses for him” (2) sell Israelites to Egypt in exchange for horses. Alternate translation: “in exchange for horses for him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

וַֽ⁠יהוָה֙ אָמַ֣ר לָ⁠כֶ֔ם לֹ֣א תֹסִפ֗וּ⁠ן לָ⁠שׁ֛וּב בַּ⁠דֶּ֥רֶךְ הַ⁠זֶּ֖ה עֽוֹד

and=YHWH he/it_had_said to/for=you_all not you_all_must_repeat, to,return in/on/at/with,way the=this again/more

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation, as modeled by the UST.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

לֹ֣א תֹסִפ֗וּ⁠ן לָ⁠שׁ֛וּב בַּ⁠דֶּ֥רֶךְ הַ⁠זֶּ֖ה עֽוֹד

not you_all_must_repeat, to,return in/on/at/with,way the=this again/more

The expression no longer turn that way again contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in some languages. If this is true of your language, you could shorten the expression. Alternate translation: “You will not return that way again”
