UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

וַ⁠יֵּצְא֨וּ

and=they_went_out

The author is using the pronoun they to mean the people of the city of Shechem. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “And the people of Shechem went out”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַֽ⁠יִּבְצְר֤וּ אֶת־כַּרְמֵי⁠הֶם֙

and,gathered DOM vineyards,their

The author is using the term vineyards by association to mean the grapes on the vines in the vineyards. Alternate translation: “and cut clusters of grapes off the vines in their vineyards”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַֽ⁠יִּדְרְכ֔וּ

and,trod

The author is leaving some information implicit that he assumes readers will understand. He means that the people of Shechem trod on the grapes that they had picked. That is, they stepped on them to squeeze the juice out of them so that they could make wine from it. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “and squeezed the grapes to make wine”

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

וַֽ⁠יַּעֲשׂ֖וּ הִלּוּלִ֑ים

and,held festival

Based on its one other use in Leviticus 19:24, the term translated as offerings refers to fruit that people brought into a temple and ate, or drank as juice, as part of a harvest thanksgiving celebration. Alternate translation: “and they prepared fruit offerings to give thanks for their harvest”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בֵּ֣ית אֱֽלֹֽהֵי⁠הֶ֔ם

house_of god,their

The author is speaking of the temple of the god that the people of Shechem worshiped as if it were a house in which that false god lived. See how you translated the similar expression in 9:4. Alternate translation: “into the temple of their god”
