UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יְהִ֗י

and=he/it_was

Moses is using the word translated And it happened to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event. Alternate translation: “And then” or “At that time”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

הַ⁠קּוֹל֙

the,voice

Here, voice represents the sound of someone speaking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the sound of Yahweh speaking”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

וַ⁠תִּקְרְב֣וּ⁠ן

and,approached,

By you, Moses means the leaders of the Israelites but not all of the Israelites, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

רָאשֵׁ֥י

heads

Here, heads means “leaders.” If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the leaders of”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

רָאשֵׁ֥י שִׁבְטֵי⁠כֶ֖ם וְ⁠זִקְנֵי⁠כֶֽם

heads tribes,your_all's and,elders,your_all's

The terms the heads of your tribes and your elders mean similar things. Moses is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “your leaders”
