UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יָּבֹ֥א יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם

and,came Yerushalayim

Here, he refers to Ezra, but the statement also applies to all the others described in [7:7](../07/07.md) who were traveling with him. Alternate translation: [And they all arrived in Jerusalem]

Note 2 topic: translate-hebrewmonths

וַ⁠יָּבֹ֥א יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם בַּ⁠חֹ֣דֶשׁ הַ⁠חֲמִישִׁ֑י

and,came Yerushalayim in/on/at/with,month the,fifth

The fifth month means the fifth month in the Jewish calendar. You could convert the Hebrew month into an equivalent on the calendar that your culture uses. However, the Jews used a lunar calendar, so if you use a solar calendar, the equivalency will be different every year and the translation will not be entirely accurate. So you may just want to use the name or number of the Hebrew month. Alternate translation: [And they all arrived in Jerusalem during the fifth month of the year]

Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal

בַּ⁠חֹ֣דֶשׁ הַ⁠חֲמִישִׁ֑י

in/on/at/with,month the,fifth

Alternate translation: [in month five]

Note 4 topic: translate-ordinal

הִ֛יא שְׁנַ֥ת הַ⁠שְּׁבִיעִ֖ית לַ⁠מֶּֽלֶךְ

she/it year_of the,seventh of_the,king

Alternate translation: [in year seven of the reign of Artaxerxes] or since the year was mentioned at the end of the previous verse, [of that year]
