UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / events

אוֹשִׁ֣יעַ אֶתְ⁠כֶ֔ם וְ⁠נָתַתִּ֥י אֶת־מִדְיָ֖ן בְּ⁠יָדֶ֑⁠ךָ

deliver DOM,you_all and,give DOM Midyānites in/on/at/with,hand,your

Since Yahweh was going to give Midian into Gideon’s hand (that is, give Gideon the power to conquer Midian) in order to save the Israelites, in your translation you may wish to relate these events in the order in which they were going to happen. Alternate translation: [I will give Midian into your hand and save you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

אֶתְ⁠כֶ֔ם

DOM,you_all

In this verse, the word your is singular because Yahweh is speaking to Gideon as an individual. However, the word you is plural because Yahweh is addressing Gideon as representative of all the Israelites. So use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction. Other languages may have different ways of clarifying the meaning. Alternate translation: [you Israelites]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠כָל־הָ⁠עָ֔ם יֵלְכ֖וּ

and=all the,troops go

Yahweh assumes that when he says all the people, Gideon will understand that he means “all the other people,” that is, the soldiers who did not lap the water from their hands. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [But all the soldiers who did not lap the water may go]
