UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

הֹלְכִ֣ים הָל֔וֹךְ

passed_on went_forward

The author is repeating the verb walking in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [were walking continually]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

הָל֖וֹךְ וְ⁠תָק֥וֹעַ בַּ⁠שּׁוֹפָרֽוֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: and=seven the,priests carrying seven trumpets_of the,rams'_horns to=(the)_face_of/in_front_of/before ark_of YHWH passed_on went_forward and,blowing in/on/at/with,trumpets and,the,armed went in,front_of,them and,the,rear_guard came after ark_of YHWH continually and,blew in/on/at/with,trumpets )

The author is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [while the priests were walking and blowing on the shofars]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

הָל֖וֹךְ וְ⁠תָק֥וֹעַ בַּ⁠שּׁוֹפָרֽוֹת

The author may be expressing a single idea by using two words connected with and. While the priests actually were walking and blowing on the shofars at the same time, the word walking might be describing in what way the priests were blowing, that is, continually. Alternate translation: [blowing continually on the shofars]
