OET (OET-RV) “The God of us Hebrews has met with us,” they replied, “Please, let us go three days into the wilderness so we can sacrifice to our God Yahweh, because we don’t want him to strike us with the plague or with war.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
וַיֹּ֣אמְר֔וּ
and=they_said
It may not make sense in all languages for multiple people to speak. Since Aaron was appointed as Moses’ spokesman, consider the alternative translation: “Aaron replied”
אֱלֹהֵ֥י הָעִבְרִ֖ים
god the,Hebrews
This term, The God of the Hebrews, is also used for Yahweh, the Israelites’ God.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
עָלֵ֑ינוּ נֵ֣לֲכָה & וְנִזְבְּחָה֙ & יִפְגָּעֵ֔נוּ
with,us go & and,sacrifice & strike,us
Here, us (or “we” in UST) refers to the Hebrew people (the Israelites). It excludes Pharaoh and his people. Your language may require you to mark these forms.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
בֶחָֽרֶב
in/on/at/with,sword
Here, sword represents war or an attack by enemies. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “cause our enemies to attack us”
5:3 he will kill us: God had not said this. Perhaps Moses and Aaron were trying to strengthen their case by saying that they had to obey God or die.

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.
