UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

וְ⁠לָקַחְתָּ֗ & תִּקָּ֔ח

and,collect & take

In this verse, shall indicates a command. See how you translated the same use of shall in 1:3.

Note 2 topic: translate-bmoney

חֲמֵ֧שֶׁת חֲמֵ֛שֶׁת שְׁקָלִ֖ים & הַ⁠שָּֽׁקֶל

five_of five shekels & the,shekel

A shekel was an amount of silver that weighed about 11 grams. You could try to express this amount in terms of current monetary values, but that might cause your Bible translation to become outdated and inaccurate, since those values can change over time. So instead you might state something more general or give the equivalent in wages. Alternate translation: “55 grams, 55 grams of silver … is 11 grams of silver”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

חֲמֵ֧שֶׁת חֲמֵ֛שֶׁת

five_of five

Yahweh repeats the same word five in order to emphasize the exact amount. If your language can repeat words for emphasis, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: “precisely five”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

לַ⁠גֻּלְגֹּ֑לֶת

for_the,head

See how you translated the same use of “skulls” in 1:2.

Note 5 topic: translate-bmoney

בְּ⁠שֶׁ֤קֶל הַ⁠קֹּ֨דֶשׁ֙

in/on/at/with,shekel the,sanctuary

The silver shekel that was used in the holy place was an ancient measurement of the weight of silver that functioned as a currency, equivalent to approximately 11 grams or two-fifths of an ounce of silver. You could try to express this amount in terms of the current monetary value of silver, but that might cause your translation to become outdated and inaccurate since those values can change over time. Instead, consider using a generic phrase. Alternate translation: “by the standard weight of silver that is used by the priests in the holy place”

Note 6 topic: translate-bweight

עֶשְׂרִ֥ים גֵּרָ֖ה

twenty gerahs

A “gerah” is a unit of weight equal to about 0.57 kilograms. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express this in terms of modern measurements, either in the text or a footnote.
