UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

וַ⁠יְהִ֗י

and=he/it_was

The author is using this phrase to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יִּרְבּוּ֙ הַ⁠יָּמִ֔ים וַ⁠יִּֽהְי֖וּ עֶשְׂרִ֣ים שָׁנָ֑ה

and,long the=days and=they_were twenty year

The author is using the term days by association to mean time. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [that a long time passed, 20 years in fact]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

כָּל־בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

all/each/any/every house_of Yisrael

Here, house means all the people descended from a particular person. It envisions them as if they were one household living together. So the house of Israel figuratively means all the people descended from the patriarch Jacob, who was also known as Israel. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [all of the Israelites]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

כָּל־בֵּ֥ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

all/each/any/every house_of Yisrael

The author is making an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [people throughout Israel]
