UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וְ⁠לֹֽא־מָצְאָה֩ הַ⁠יּוֹנָ֨ה

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”

אֵלָי⁠ו֙ אֶל הַ⁠תֵּבָ֔ה

to=him/it to/towards the=box

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

Some languages may have to switch the clause order in this verse and say, “But water was still covering the entire earth/world, so the dove did/could not find a resting place for its feet. Then it returned to Noah at the boat, and he/Noah reached …” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “because water was still covering the entire world.”

וַ⁠יִּשְׁלַ֤ח יָד⁠וֹ֙

and,put_out his/its=hand

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “So he reached out” or “and he reached out”

Alternate translation: “back to himself in the ark” or “back into the ark”
