UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

מֵ⁠עִ֣יר מִבְצָ֔ר וְ⁠עַ֖ד כֹּ֣פֶר הַ⁠פְּרָזִ֑י

from,cities_of fortified and=unto villages_of the,country

The author is not referring to a specific city or village. He means the Philistine cities and villages in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using plural forms. Alternate translation: [from the cities of fortification and to the villages of the countryside]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

מֵ⁠עִ֣יר מִבְצָ֔ר

from,cities_of fortified

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of fortification, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [from the fortified cities]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠עַ֣ד ׀ אָבֵ֣ל הַ⁠גְּדוֹלָ֗ה

and=unto stone the,large

The author assumes that his readers will know that the “great stone” he first mentioned in [6:14](../06/14.md) was later given the name Abel, which means “mourning.” The stone probably got that name because of the events that the author describes in the next verse, because of which, he says, the people “mourned.” You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and as far as the great stone that came to be called Abel]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠עַ֣ד ׀ אָבֵ֣ל הַ⁠גְּדוֹלָ֗ה

and=unto stone the,large

The context suggests that this stone marked the boundary between the territories of the Philistines and the Israelites. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and as far as their border with Israel at the great stone that came to be called Abel]

Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns

אֲשֶׁ֨ר הִנִּ֤יחוּ עָלֶ֨י⁠הָ֙

which/who set on/upon=it(f)

The pronoun they refers to the Levites whom the author describes in [6:15](../06/15.md). It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [on which the Levites rested]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

עַ֚ד הַ⁠יּ֣וֹם הַ⁠זֶּ֔ה
