UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escapes

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_came for=doing sacrifices and,burnt_offerings and,Jehu stationed to=him/it in/on/at/with,outside eighty (a)_man and=he/it_said the=man which/who lets_~_escape from/more_than the,men which/who I placing on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in hands,your_all's life,his below/instead_of life,his )

Here the “hands” of the men refer to their “control.” By being stationed around the temple they were in control of the situation and it was up to them whether people were able to escape or not. Alternate translation: “If any of these men that I brought into your control escapes” or “If any of the men that are inside gets away”

(Occurrence 0) whoever lets that man escape, his life will be taken for the life of the one who escaped

Alternate translation: “we will kill the man who let him escape”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) his life will be taken

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. This is a polite way to refer to a person being killed. Alternate translation: “we will take his life” or “we will kill him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) for the life of the one

“in exchange for the life of the man.” Here this man is referred to by his “life” to emphasize that he did not die. Alternate translation: “for the man”
