UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יִּבָּֽדְלוּ֙ זֶ֣רַע יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל מִ⁠כֹּ֖ל בְּנֵ֣י נֵכָ֑ר

and,separated_themselves seed/offspring Yisrael from=all sons_of foreigner

The Israelites were conducting this ceremony as a special act of repentance for how they and their ancestors had disobeyed God. They were acknowledging how they had failed to fulfill the special assignment God had given them of modeling the blessings of living according to his ways, so it would not have been appropriate for people from other nations to take part in the ceremony. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: “The people of Israel did not allow anyone from any other nation to take part in this ceremony because it was going to be a time of repentance for how they and their ancestors had disobeyed Yahweh”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

זֶ֣רַע יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל

seed/offspring Yisrael

Here, seed means “descendants.” Alternate translation: “the descendants of Israel” or “the Israelites”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

מִ⁠כֹּ֖ל בְּנֵ֣י נֵכָ֑ר

from=all sons_of foreigner

Sons here means descendants. Alternate translation: “all people from other nations”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

וַ⁠יַּעַמְד֗וּ וַ⁠יִּתְוַדּוּ֙ עַל־חַטֹּ֣אתֵי⁠הֶ֔ם וַ⁠עֲוֺנ֖וֹת אֲבֹתֵי⁠הֶֽם

and,stood and,confessed on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sins,their and,iniquities fathers,their

Here, stood probably does not mean “standing up,” since the next verse says that they “rose up,” which probably means that they got up from kneeling. As they were showing sorrow for their sins, they would likely have knelt to worship God, as in 8:6. So stood probably means instead that they remained in place, by implication for some time, and made a thorough confession. Alternate translation: “they remained in place as they confessed all the wrong things that they and their ancestors had done”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲבֹתֵי⁠הֶֽם

fathers,their

Fathers here means “ancestors.” Alternate translation: “their ancestors”
