UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְ⁠אָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵ⁠הֶ֔ם

speak to/towards sons_of Yisrael and,say to,them

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition emphasizes that Moses is to deliver the following speech to the people of Israel. (The speech makes up the first seven chapters of the book.) If your language does not use repetition for emphasis, you could use a single phrase and convey the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Make sure you say to the people of Israel”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙

sons_of Yisrael

This expression speaks of the people of Israel in the time of Moses as if they were literally the sons of Israel. It means that they are the physical and spiritual descendants of Jacob, whose name God changed to Israel. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the descendants of Israel”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙

sons_of Yisrael

Although the word translated sons is masculine and plural, it has a generic sense that applies to both men and women. In your translation, you may wish to use a term that is clearly inclusive of men and women. Alternate translation: “the people of Israel”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

וְ⁠אָמַרְתָּ֣

and,say

As the General Introduction to Leviticus discusses, here and throughout the book, the author of Leviticus uses a future form to give an instruction or command. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these verbs using a command or instruction form. Alternate translation: “and say”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

אָדָ֗ם כִּֽי־יַקְרִ֥יב מִ⁠כֶּ֛ם

humankind that/for/because/then/when brings of,you_all

Although the word translated A man is masculine, it has a generic sense that refers to any person who approaches the tent to make a sacrifice. Alternate translation: “When one of you presents” or “When someone presents”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

אָדָ֗ם & מִ⁠כֶּ֛ם & תַּקְרִ֖יבוּ אֶת־קָרְבַּנְ⁠כֶֽם׃

humankind & of,you_all & bring DOM (Some words not found in UHB: speak to/towards sons_of Yisrael and,say to,them humankind that/for/because/then/when brings of,you_all offering to/for=YHWH from/more_than the=cattle/livestock from/more_than the,herd and=from the,flock bring DOM offering,your_all's )

As the General Introduction to Leviticus discusses, the book often speaks of the Israelites and to the Israelites in the third person, even though it is a direct address to them. Here and throughout the book, if it would be helpful in your language, you could either (1) use the second person in your translation. Alternate translation: “One of you Israelites ... you shall present your offering” or (2) use the third person in your translation. Alternate translation: “An Israelite ... he shall present his offering”

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

מִ⁠כֶּ֛ם & תַּקְרִ֖יבוּ אֶת־קָרְבַּנְ⁠כֶֽם׃

of,you_all & bring DOM (Some words not found in UHB: speak to/towards sons_of Yisrael and,say to,them humankind that/for/because/then/when brings of,you_all offering to/for=YHWH from/more_than the=cattle/livestock from/more_than the,herd and=from the,flock bring DOM offering,your_all's )

The words you and your here are plural. These words apply to the entire Israelite community. Use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.

Note 8 topic: writing-poetry

יַקְרִ֥יב & קָרְבָּ֖ן

brings & offering

The word presents translates a verb that is related to the noun translated offering. The repetition of related words adds emphasis to the statement. If your language can repeat words for emphasis, it would be appropriate to use that construction here in your translation.

Note 9 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

הַ⁠בְּהֵמָ֗ה & הַ⁠בָּקָר֙ & הַ⁠צֹּ֔אן

the=cattle/livestock & the,herd & the,flock

The expressions the livestock, the cattle, and the flock do not refer to specific groups of animals. They describe any groups of animals that an Israelite might own. Express this in the way that would be most natural in your language. Alternate translation: “his livestock … his cattle … his flock”

Note 10 topic: translate-unknown

מִן־הַ⁠בְּהֵמָ֗ה

from/more_than the=cattle/livestock

The word translated livestock refers generally to land animals as opposed to birds or fish. In the context of Leviticus, it refers specifically to domesticated bovines, sheep, goats, and all other animals used for commercial and agrarian purposes, including work and food. If your readers would not be familiar with these animals, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “from the animals he is raising”

Note 11 topic: translate-unknown

מִן־הַ⁠בָּקָר֙

from/more_than from/more_than the,herd

The word translated cattle refers to a subgroup of the word translated livestock. It describes a group of bovines—whether cows, bulls, or oxen. If your readers would not be familiar with these animals, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “either from his bovines”

Note 12 topic: translate-unknown

וּ⁠מִן־הַ⁠צֹּ֔אן

and=from the,flock

The word translated flock refers to a subgroup of the word translated livestock. It describes a group of sheep or goats. If your readers would not be familiar with these animals, you could use a general expression in your translation. Alternate translation: “or from his sheep or goats”

תַּקְרִ֖יבוּ

bring

Alternate translation: “you must present”
