OET-LV And_he/it_said to daughters_of_his and_where_is_he to/for_what this have_you(pl)_left DOM the_man invite to_him/it so_that_he_may_eat food.
OET (OET-RV) “Where is he now?” he asked them. “What’s this—you mean you all just left him there? Go and get him so we can give him a meal.”

וְאַיּ֑וֹ לָ֤מָּה זֶּה֙ עֲזַבְתֶּ֣ן אֶת־הָאִ֔ישׁ
and,where_[is],he? (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said to/towards daughters_of,his and,where_[is],he? to/for=what it leave DOM the=man invite to=him/it so,that_he_may_eat bread )
These questions are a mild rebuke to the daughters for not inviting Moses into their home according to the normal hospitality of that culture. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [You should not have left this man at the well!]

to=him/it
Here, him refers to Moses.

לָֽחֶם
bread
Here, bread is used to refer to food in general. If this would be misunderstood in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or plain language. Alternate translation: [food]

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