UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

He rained down meat on them like dust

(Some words not found in UHB: and,rained on,them like_the,dust meat and,like,sand seas bird wing/corner/skirt )

The writer speaks of Yahweh causing birds to fall from the sky as if the birds were rain that Yahweh caused to fall. He compares the large amount of birds to dust. Alternate translation: “He caused meat to fall from the sky like rain, and there was so much of it that it covered the ground like dust” (See also: figs-simile)

meat

(Some words not found in UHB: and,rained on,them like_the,dust meat and,like,sand seas bird wing/corner/skirt )

birds

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

as numerous as the sands of the sea

(Some words not found in UHB: and,rained on,them like_the,dust meat and,like,sand seas bird wing/corner/skirt )

No one can count the grains of sand. There were more birds than anyone could count, but this is an exaggeration: there were probably not literally the same number of birds as grains of sand.
