UTNuW Translation Notes:

See how you translated many of these words in Exodus 27:16 and 18.

Note 1 topic: translate-bdistance

וְ⁠עֶשְׂרִ֤ים & חָמֵ֣שׁ

and=twenty & five

If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this in terms of modern measurements, either in the text or a footnote. A cubit is approximately 46cm. For your reference, a more precise conversion to metric is: 9.2m … 2.3m

וְ⁠קוֹמָ֤ה בְ⁠רֹ֨חַב֙ חָמֵ֣שׁ אַמּ֔וֹת

and,high in/on/at/with,width five cubits

This probably refers to the general dimensions (20 cubits long by 5 cubits wide) but clarifies that the width would become the height of the curtain when the craftsmen or Levites set up the Dwelling. Alternate translation: “and the width, which corresponded to the height when hung, was five cubits”
