UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) obey his voice

(Some words not found in UHB: by,loving DOM YHWH God,your by,obeying in/on/at/with,voice,his and,by,holding_fast in=him/it that/for/because/then/when he/it life,your and,length days,your that,live on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=soil which/who swore YHWH to,fathers,your to,Abraham to,Isaac and,to,Jacob to,give to/for=them )

Here “voice” refers to what Yahweh says. Alternate translation: “obey what he says”

(Occurrence 0) to cling to him

(Some words not found in UHB: by,loving DOM YHWH God,your by,obeying in/on/at/with,voice,his and,by,holding_fast in=him/it that/for/because/then/when he/it life,your and,length days,your that,live on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=soil which/who swore YHWH to,fathers,your to,Abraham to,Isaac and,to,Jacob to,give to/for=them )

Alternate translation: “to rely on him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

(Occurrence 0) For he is your life and the length of your days

(Some words not found in UHB: by,loving DOM YHWH God,your by,obeying in/on/at/with,voice,his and,by,holding_fast in=him/it that/for/because/then/when he/it life,your and,length days,your that,live on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=soil which/who swore YHWH to,fathers,your to,Abraham to,Isaac and,to,Jacob to,give to/for=them )

These phrases have the same meaning and are metonyms for Yahweh, emphasizing that he is the one who gives life and determines the length of people’s lifetimes. Alternate translation: “Yahweh is the only one who can enable you to live a long life” (See also: figs-metonymy)

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

(Occurrence 0) swore to your ancestors

(Some words not found in UHB: by,loving DOM YHWH God,your by,obeying in/on/at/with,voice,his and,by,holding_fast in=him/it that/for/because/then/when he/it life,your and,length days,your that,live on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=soil which/who swore YHWH to,fathers,your to,Abraham to,Isaac and,to,Jacob to,give to/for=them )

The ellipsis can be filled in. Alternate translation: “swore that he would give to your ancestors”
