Note 1 topic: writing-background

וּ⁠לְ⁠כֹהֵ֥ן מִדְיָ֖ן שֶׁ֣בַע בָּנ֑וֹת

This sentence is background information. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information.

Note 2 topic: writing-newevent

וּ⁠לְ⁠כֹהֵ֥ן מִדְיָ֖ן שֶׁ֣בַע בָּנ֑וֹת

and_[belonged],to_(the),priest_of Midyān (Some words not found in UHB: and_[belonged],to_(the),priest_of Midyān seven daughters and,they_came and,they_drew and,they_filled DOM the_drinking,troughs to=water flock_of_sheep/goats their_father_of,their )

This sentence marks a scene transition. However, the last clause of the previous verse (“and he sat down by a well”) seems to be related to this new scene, so you may want to make your transition before that, as is done in the UST.

Note 3 topic: writing-participants

בָּנ֑וֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: and_[belonged],to_(the),priest_of Midyān seven daughters and,they_came and,they_drew and,they_filled DOM the_drinking,troughs to=water flock_of_sheep/goats their_father_of,their )

The daughters are new participants. Use the natural form in your language for introducing new characters.

The perspective of the narrative is set at the well. The daughters came from elsewhere to the well. They were probably on foot. Here each language will need to choose the appropriate motion word.
