OET (OET-RV) Then Adam slept with his wife again and she bore a son and named him Shet (Seth) (which means ‘given’) because she had said, “God has given me another son in place of Abel who was killed by Kayin.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
וַיֵּ֨דַע אָדָ֥ם עוֹד֙ אֶת אִשְׁתּ֔וֹ
and=he/it_knew humankind again/more DOM his/its=wife/woman
See how you translated the idiom knew in 4:1, 17. Alternate translation: “Then Adam slept with his wife Eve again,” or “Again Adam had marital relations with his wife Eve,”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
וַתֵּ֣לֶד בֵּ֔ן
and=she/it_gave_birth son
Alternate translation: “so that she conceived and had a son,” or “with the result that she became pregnant and gave birth to a son,”
וַתִּקְרָ֥א אֶת שְׁמ֖וֹ
and=she/it_called/named DOM his/its=name
See how you translated a similar phrase in Gen 3:20. Alternate translation: “and she gave him the name”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
כִּ֣י
that/for/because/then/when
What follows is a direct quote of what Eve said that gave Seth his name. Make sure that is clear in your language. Also consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “She named him that because when he was born, she had exclaimed,”
שָֽׁת לִ֤י אֱלֹהִים֙
he/it_placed/appointed to=me ʼₑlhīmv
If you include the meaning of Seth’s name in your translation or in a footnote, make sure it matches the way you translate appointed here, so that it is clear why he was given that name. Alternate translation: “God has given to me”
תַּ֣חַת הֶ֔בֶל
below/instead_of Heⱱel/(Abel)
Alternate translation: “to take the place of Abel,”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
כִּ֥י הֲרָג֖וֹ קָֽיִן
that/for/because/then/when he/it_killed=him/it Qayin/(Cain)
For some language it is necessary to put this phrase first in this clause (so that events are in the order that they happened) and say, “Since Cain killed Abel, God granted me another child to replace him.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “whom Cain murdered.”
4:25 another son in place of Abel: Cain (4:8-16) and Lamech (4:19-24) illustrate sin’s consequences; the birth of Seth brought renewed hope. See also study note on 5:1-2.

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.
