וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֤ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה֙
and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Mosheh
The timing and situation for Yahweh speaking to Moses here is not specified. Some conjecture that it was part of the narrative of the encounter with Yahweh from the previous verses but placed after his request to Jethro for an unknown reason. Another speculation is that Moses delayed returning to Egypt (either by his own choice, Yahweh’s instructions, or someone else delaying him) and Yahweh came and told him again (the UST explicitly offers this optional translation).

the,seeking DOM life_of,your
This means they were seeking to end his life, that is, to kill him.

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.
