UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וַ⁠יֵּצְא֣וּ הָ⁠עָם֮ וַ⁠יָּבִיאוּ֒

and=they_went_out the,people and,brought

Here the story is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. The meaning is clear from the context. Alternate translation: “the people went out and got branches”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יַּעֲשׂוּ֩ לָ⁠הֶ֨ם סֻכּ֜וֹת אִ֤ישׁ עַל־גַּגּ⁠וֹ֙

and=they_made to/for=them booths (a)_man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in roof,his

In this context, a man is an idiom that means “each person” and likely “each family.” It does not mean only an adult male. Alternate translation: “and each family built shelters on their roofs”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עַל־גַּגּ⁠וֹ֙

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in roof,his

In this culture, roofs were flat and were reached by stairs that led up to them from outside the house. So a shelter could stand on the flat roof and the family could use it as a temporary home. Alternate translation: “on their flat roofs”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠בְ⁠חַצְרֹ֣תֵי⁠הֶ֔ם

and,in/on/at/with,courtyards,their

In this culture, houses were built around an open courtyard. So a shelter could be set up there, within the walls of the house. Alternate translation: “and in the courtyards within the walls of their homes”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וּ⁠בְ⁠חַצְר֖וֹת בֵּ֣ית הָ⁠אֱלֹהִ֑ים

and,in/on/at/with,courts house_of the=ʼElohīm

As in 6:10, here the book speaks of the temple as the “house of God,” as if it were God’s dwelling place. Alternate translation: “and in the temple courtyards”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠בִ⁠רְחוֹב֙ שַׁ֣עַר הַ⁠מַּ֔יִם

and,in/on/at/with,square gate the=waters

Here the story is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. The meaning is clear from the context, since this same location is described in 8:1 and 8:3. Alternate translation: “and in the square in front of the Water Gate”

Note 7 topic: translate-names

שַׁ֣עַר הַ⁠מַּ֔יִם

gate the=waters

This is the name of one of the gates of Jerusalem. See how you translated it in 3:26, 8:1, and 8:3. Alternate translation: “the Water Gate”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

וּ⁠בִ⁠רְח֖וֹב שַׁ֥עַר אֶפְרָֽיִם

and,in/on/at/with,square gate Efrayim

Here the story is leaving out some of the words that a sentence would ordinarily need in order to be complete. The meaning is clear from the context. Alternate translation: “and in the square in front of the Ephraim Gate”

Note 9 topic: translate-names

שַׁ֥עַר אֶפְרָֽיִם

gate Efrayim

This is the name of another one of the gates of Jerusalem. Alternate translation: “the Ephraim Gate”
