UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יֵּ֥לֶךְ

and=he/it_went

A new scene begins here. Use the natural form in your language for introducing a new event.

Note 2 topic: writing-participants

אִ֖ישׁ & בַּת

(a)_man & daughter_of

These are new participants. They remain unnamed until Exodus 6:20 where they are identified as Amram and Jochebed. For now it is best to leave them unnamed in your language, if possible.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יִּקַּ֖ח אֶת־בַּת־לֵוִֽי

and=he/it_took DOM daughter_of Lēvīh

Here, took a daughter is an idiom for marrying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language.
