UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְאִ֗ישׁ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִקַּ֧ח אֶת־ אִשָּׁ֛ה וְאֶת־ אִמָּ֖הּ

(Some words not found in UHB: and,man which/who marries DOM woman/wife and=DOM mother,her depravity who/which in/on/at/with,fire burned DOM=him/it and,DOM,they and=not be depravity in/on/at/with,midst,you_all )

The expression takes a wife and her mother is either an idiom that refers to a man marrying both a woman and her mother or a euphemism that refers to a man having sexual relations with a woman and her mother. If possible, consider a translation that will allow for both possibilities. Alternate translation: “And a man who marries a woman and her mother” or “And a man who has sexual relations with both a woman and her mother”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

זִמָּ֣ה הִ֑וא & וְלֹא־ תִהְיֶ֥ה זִמָּ֖ה בְּתוֹכְכֶֽם׃

depravity who/which & (Some words not found in UHB: and,man which/who marries DOM woman/wife and=DOM mother,her depravity who/which in/on/at/with,fire burned DOM=him/it and,DOM,they and=not be depravity in/on/at/with,midst,you_all )

The word depravity refers to behavior that flagrantly transcends the way God has intended family units to function and family members to relate to one another. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of depravity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “Such behavior is surely depraved…and such depraved behavior will not be in your midst” or “Such behavior does not reflect the way God wants family members to relate to one another…and such despicable behavior will not be in your midst”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

בָּאֵ֞שׁ יִשְׂרְפ֤וּ אֹתוֹ֙ וְאֶתְהֶ֔ן

Here, the word They refers to the people of Israel, while the word them refers to the woman and her mother who have had sexual relations with the same man. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: “The people of Israel shall burn the man and both women with fire”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

בְּתוֹכְכֶֽם׃

Here, your is plural. They refer to the people of Israel, so use the plural form in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
