UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל

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 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל

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 3 topic: writing-quotations

לֵ⁠אמֹר֒

to=say

The word translated saying introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, consider ways in which you might introduce this quotation naturally in your language.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

נֶ֗פֶשׁ כִּֽי־תֶחֱטָ֤א

creature that/for/because/then/when sins

Although the word translated A person is feminine, it has a generic sense that refers to any person who approaches the tent to make a sacrifice. As the General Introduction to this chapter suggests, the people of Israel are here referred to by using a generic feminine noun, which intentionally balances the use of the generic masculine noun in 1:2. If your language has a generic word for an individual that is grammatically feminine, consider using it here, or use a generic noun. Alternate translation: “When any person offers” or “When someone offers”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִּֽי־תֶחֱטָ֤א בִ⁠שְׁגָגָה֙ מִ⁠כֹּל֙ מִצְוֺ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר לֹ֣א תֵעָשֶׂ֑ינָה

that/for/because/then/when sins in/on/at/with,unintentional_wrong from=all commands YHWH which/who not done

The expression which shall not be done could refer to: (1) the commands of Yahweh, that is, to commandments that proscribe certain actions or behaviors. Alternate translation: “when he sins by mistake from all the commands of Yahweh that say what you should not do” or (2) the act of sinning against God by violating any of the commands of Yahweh. Alternate translation: “when he sins by mistake from all the commands of Yahweh, which is something that you should not do”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

כִּֽי־תֶחֱטָ֤א בִ⁠שְׁגָגָה֙ מִ⁠כֹּל֙ מִצְוֺ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה

that/for/because/then/when sins in/on/at/with,unintentional_wrong from=all commands YHWH

The expression sins by mistake from any of the commands of Yahweh could refer to: (1) doing wrong against God by mistakenly not doing something that the commands of Yahweh say to do. Alternate translation: “when he sins by mistake, unintentionally not doing something that the commands of Yahweh say you should do” or (2) doing wrong against God by mistakenly doing something that the commands of Yahweh expressly forbid. Alternate translation: “when he sins by mistake by doing something that the commands of Yahweh say you should not do”

Note 7 topic: writing-poetry

וְ⁠עָשָׂ֕ה מֵ⁠אַחַ֖ת מֵ⁠הֵֽנָּה

and,does against,any_one of,them

The expression from one from them uses repetition to refer to any individual command from the body of the commands of Yahweh. If your language can use repetition for emphasis in this manner, consider using a similar expression here. If not, then consider using a generic expression. Alternate translation: “and he does any one of them”
