BrTrHear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of thy fathers said that he would give thee a land flowing with milk and honey: and these are the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.

ULTAnd you shall listen, Israel, and carefully do, that it will go well for you, and that you will greatly multiply, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers spoke to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

USTSo, you Israelite people, listen to them carefully and obey them. If you do that, things will go well with you. Also, you will become a very numerous nation when you are living in that very fertile land. That is what Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors worshiped, promised would happen.

BSBHear, O Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

6:3 The milk and honey abundant in Canaan represented both agriculture and forage. Compared to the desert fare, Canaan’s food was sumptuous indeed (see Exod 3:8, 17).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וְ⁠שָׁמַעְתָּ֤ & וְ⁠שָׁמַרְתָּ֣ לַ⁠עֲשׂ֔וֹת

and,hear & and,careful for=doing

Moses is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [And you shall listen to them … and carefully do them]

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

אֲשֶׁר֙ & וַ⁠אֲשֶׁ֥ר

which/who & and=which

Here, each occurrence of that marks what comes after as the goal or purpose of what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is the purpose.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

תִּרְבּ֖וּ⁠ן מְאֹ֑ד

multiply, very

The implication is that the number of Israelites will multiply by births. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [your population will greatly increase]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲבֹתֶ֨י⁠ךָ֙

fathers_of,your

See how you translated the phrase your fathers in [1:8](../01/08.md).

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

דִּבֶּ֨ר

he/it_had_said

The implication is that Yahweh will ensure that what he spoke* will happen. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [told you he would do]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶ֛רֶץ זָבַ֥ת חָלָ֖ב וּ⁠דְבָֽשׁ

earth/land flowing_of milk and,honey

Here, a land flowing with milk and honey is an idiom that means “a very fertile land.” The word milk* means that much cattle can survive there and produce milk. The word honey means that crops grow well there, so bees can produce honey. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have this meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [in a rich and fertile land] or [in a land good for cattle and crops]
