4:25 a bridegroom of blood: The context suggests that this statement was part of the circumcision ritual of that time. Perhaps it reflects a practice among some Semites (as among certain African groups today) of performing circumcision when the child had attained puberty.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
לְרַגְלָ֑יו
at,feet_of,his
It is possible that the word feet may have been a more respectful way to refer to the genital area of the body. However, that possibility is not high enough that you should translate it either literally as genitals or with another euphemism meaning genitals in your language. If you have a word that means primarily feet or legs, but could in some cases also euphemistically mean genitals, you may consider it.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
כִּ֧י חֲתַן־דָּמִ֛ים אַתָּ֖ה לִֽי
that/for/because/then/when bridegroom_of blood you(ms) to=me
The meaning of this metaphor is unclear. It was probably a known saying in that culture. Alternate translation: [You are related to me by this blood] or [You are my husband because of blood]
