OET (OET-RV) Then Yahweh God said, “See, the man has become like one of us, being aware of good and evil. But now, he mustn’t be allowed to reach out his hand and also take fruit from the tree of life and eat it and live forever.”[ref]
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהִ֗ים
and=he/it_said YHWH ʼₑlhīmv
Consider what is the best way to refer to Yahweh God in your language at this point in the paragraph. Also, see how you translated a similar quote margin in Gen 1:26, where said has the same meaning. Alternate translation: “Then he said” or “Then he said to himself,”
הֵ֤ן
if
This word expresses emotion and calls attention to what God says next. See how you translated this term in Gen 1:29. Alternate translation: “Listen,”
הָֽאָדָם֙
the=humankind
Throughout verses 22-24 the man represents mankind, which included both the man and the woman at this point. Make sure your translation communicates that clearly in those verses and does not just refer to Adam. Alternate translation: “the man and his wife” or “mankind” or “human beings”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
הָיָה֙ כְּאַחַ֣ד מִמֶּ֔נּוּ
it_became like=one from=him/it
The pronoun us is inclusive because God is talking to himself. Alternate translation: “have become like us”
לָדַ֖עַת ט֣וֹב וָרָ֑ע
to=know good and=bad/evil
See how you translated this phrase in verse 5 and a similar phrase in Gen 2:9.
וְעַתָּ֣ה פֶּן יִשְׁלַ֣ח יָד֗וֹ וְלָקַח֙ גַּ֚ם
and=now lest he/it_will_send_out/away his/its=hand and=he/it_will_take also/yet
See how you translated “took/picked … fruit” in verse 6. Alternate translation: “So now, they must not be allowed by us to also pick” or “So we must not allow them to also pick” or “So now we must do something so that they can not also pick”
מֵעֵ֣ץ הַֽחַיִּ֔ים וְאָכַ֖ל
from=tree the=life and=he/it_will_eat
See how you translated the tree of life in Gen 2:9. Alternate translation: “fruit from the tree of eternal life and eat some of it,”
וָחַ֥י לְעֹלָֽם
and=he/it_will_live to=vanishing_point
Alternate translation: “and so live forever!” or “which would make them live forever!”
3:22 like us: The plural probably reflects God’s conversation with his angelic court (see study note on 1:26).
• the tree of life . . . live forever! Mercifully, God prevented humankind from eating of the tree of life and having to live forever in a fallen state. Through Jesus Christ, however, eternal life is once again made available (see Rev 2:7; 22:2, 14, 19).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
