UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וּ⁠בְנֵ֣י קֵינִי֩

and=the_sons Qēynī

The author is introducing some further background information that is not part of the main narrative. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בְנֵ֣י

and=the_sons

Since the actual sons of the man whom the author is describing here would have been in the same generation as Moses, the term sons could be intended literally. However, since those sons would have had three or even four generations of descendants by this time, the term may also be meant to include them. Alternate translation: “Now the descendants of”

Note 3 topic: translate-names

קֵינִי֩

Qēynī

The word Kenite is the name of a people group. Since the author has a specific Kenite in mind, your language might use a demonstrative pronoun here. Alternate translation: “that Kenite” or “that man from the Kenite people group”

Note 4 topic: translate-kinship

חֹתֵ֨ן מֹשֶׁ֜ה

father-in-law Mosheh

Your language may have its own term or expression for this relationship. Alternate translation: “the father of Moses’ wife”

Note 5 topic: translate-names

מֵ⁠עִ֤יר הַ⁠תְּמָרִים֙

from,city the,palms

The author is using the expression the City of Palms to refer to settlements in the area of the city of Jericho, which the Israelites had destroyed several years before this. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could use the name “Jericho” here. Alternate translation: “from Jericho” or “from Jericho, the city of palm trees”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶת־בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה

DOM sons_of Yehuda

Here, the term sons means “descendants.” The author is identifying the Judeans as descendants of their ancestor Judah. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. See how you translated the similar expression “the sons of Israel” in 1:1. Alternate translation: “with the people of Judah”

Note 7 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יֵּ֖לֶךְ וַ⁠יֵּ֥שֶׁב

and=he/it_went and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived

The pronoun he seems to refer to the Kenite, that is, the man who was the father-in-law of Moses. The author is using him to represent his descendants. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “And they went and they dwelled”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אֶת־הָ⁠עָֽם

DOM DOM the,people

The author implicitly means the people from the tribe of Judah who also settled in this region. You could state this information explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “among the people of Judah who also settled there”
