UTN uW Translation Notes:

אֶל בְּאֵ֣ר הַ⁠מָּ֑יִם

to/towards well the=waters

Each town or city had a well where people from the city came to get their water. See how you translated well of water in Gen 21:19. You might need to translate this in a slightly different way here because of the different context. Alternate translation: “near its well” or “by the public well that was there”

לְ⁠עֵ֣ת עֶ֔רֶב

at,time evening

Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

לְ⁠עֵ֖ת צֵ֥את הַ⁠שֹּׁאֲבֹֽת

toward,time go_out the,draw_water

In that time and culture, there was no running water in homes so people had to come out to the city well to get water for their families. Alternate translation: “the time when the young women of the city came out to draw water from the well for their families” or “when the young women of the city were starting to come out to the well to get water for their families”
