UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

שְׁלַח־אוֹרְ⁠ךָ֣

send_out light,your

The author is using the phrase light to mean good actions that drive away evil people, which darkness often represents. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Drive away evil people”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

שְׁלַח

send_out

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “Please send”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

וַ֭⁠אֲמִתְּ⁠ךָ

הֵ֣מָּה יַנְח֑וּ⁠נִי יְבִיא֥וּ⁠נִי
