UTN uW Translation Notes:

Here the author refers to the story of the first Passover, a festival that the Israelites continued to celebrate to remember what happened when God delivered them from Egypt. God had warned the king of Egypt that if he did not let the Israelites go free, he would kill the firstborn son in each Egyptian family. God told Moses to have the Israelites spread blood from a sacrificed lamb on their doors so that their firstborn sons would not die. Then, God sent a destroying angel, who killed the firstborn sons of the Egyptians. When that happened, the king of Egypt let the Israelites go free. You can read about the first Passover in Exodus 11:1–12:32. You might want to include this information in a footnote.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πεποίηκεν

˱he˲_/has/_made

Here the author implies that Moses led all the Israelites in doing these things. It was not just Moses who sprinkled blood and performed the Passover. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the implication about all the Israelites more explicit. Alternate translation: “he had them perform” or “he and the Israelites have performed”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν πρόσχυσιν τοῦ αἵματος

the sprinkling ˱of˲_the blood

Here, the phrase the sprinkling of the blood refers to God’s command to the Israelites to kill a lamb and spread its blood on the doorposts of every house where Israelites lived. This would prevent the destroyer from harming their firstborn. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make what the sprinkling of the blood refers to more explicit. Alternate translation: “the sprinkling of blood from sacrifices on their doorframes”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ ὀλοθρεύων τὰ πρωτότοκα

the_‹one› destroying the firstborn

Here, the phrase the destroyer of the firstborn refers to the spiritual being whom God commanded to kill the firstborn of the Egyptians. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify that the destroyer is a spiritual being. Alternate translation: “the angel who destroyed the firstborn”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μὴ & θίγῃ

not & /may/_touch

Here, the word touch refers to harming or killing someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “would not harm” or “would not destroy”

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτῶν

˱of˲_them

Here, the word them refers to the Israelites, perhaps more specifically to the firstborn of the Israelites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make whom them refers to explicit. Alternate translation: “the Israelites” or “the Israelite firstborn”
