UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you

General Information:

Moses speaks to the Israelites as if they were one man, so the words “you” and “your” here are singular.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck down before you

(Some words not found in UHB: he/it_gave YHWH DOM enemies,your the,rise_up against,you defeated to=your=face in/on/at/with,way one(ms) come_out against,you and,in/on/at/with,seven ways flee from,face/front,you )

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: “cause you to defeat the armies that attack you”

(Occurrence 0) but will flee before you seven ways

Alternate translation: “but they will run away from you in seven directions”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) seven ways

This is an idiom. The actual number could be more or less than seven. Alternate translation: “in many different directions”
