UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

אֲבֹתֶ֔י⁠ךָ & וַ⁠יּוֹצִֽאֲ⁠ךָ֧

fathers,your & and,brought_~_out,you

Even though Moses is speaking to all the Israelites, you and your are singular in this verse. If the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲבֹתֶ֔י⁠ךָ

fathers,your

Moses is using the term fathers to mean “ancestors.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “your ancestors”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בְּ⁠פָנָ֛י⁠ו

in/on/at/with,presence,his

Moses is using face, meaning Yahweh’s presence, to represent Yahweh’s ability to save the Israelites. Moses is emphasizing that Yahweh brought the Israelites out of Egypt by himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “by himself”

Note 4 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

בְּ⁠זַרְע֖⁠וֹ אַחֲרָ֑י⁠ו

in/on/at/with,descendants,their after,them

In this verse, the pronouns his and him are singular in form, but they refer to all of the Israelites’ ancestors as a group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say this plainly. Alternate translation: “their seed after them”
