and=not found the,dove

Consider what is the best way to refer to the dove at this point in the paragraph in your language. Alternate translation: “But the dove could not find” or “But it was not able to find”

מָנ֜וֹחַ לְ⁠כַף רַגְלָ֗⁠הּ

resting_place for,sole foot,its

In Hebrew the word dove is grammatically a feminine noun (for both male and female doves), so some translations say “her feet … she returned …” here. For languages such as English that do not assign grammatical gender to nouns, it is more accurate to use its and it here, because it is not known whether this dove was male or female. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “anywhere to perch and rest,”

וַ⁠תָּ֤שָׁב

and,returned

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “So it returned” or “So the dove flew back”

to=him/it to/towards the=box

Alternate translation: “flew back to him at the ark”
