UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-unknown

הִפִּ֨ילוּ גוֹרָל֜וֹת

throw lots

As in [10:34](../10/34.md), a lot was a physical object that was used in various ways to make a selection among different possibilities. Use the term in your language that would best describe such an object for your readers.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אֶחָ֣ד מִן־הָ⁠עֲשָׂרָ֗ה

one(ms) from/more_than the,ten

This means “one out of ten people.”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

בִּֽ⁠ירוּשָׁלִַ֨ם֙ עִ֣יר הַ⁠קֹּ֔דֶשׁ

in/on/at/with,Jerusalem (a)_city the,holy

Here the book repeats some background information to remind readers about the special status that Jerusalem had, which was why it was so important for that city to be well populated. As in [1:9](../01/09.md), the list is acknowledging Jerusalem as the place from which God chose to start making himself famous throughout the world, and as the city where God chose to put his temple. Alternate translation: [Jerusalem, the special city that God chose]

וְ⁠תֵ֥שַׁע הַ⁠יָּד֖וֹת בֶּ⁠עָרִֽים
