אֲחֹ֣תִי אָ֑תְּ
sister_of,[are]_my (Some words not found in UHB: say now sister_of,[are]_my you so_that go_well to=me because,of,you and,it_will_live life_of,my on,account_of,of_you )
If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this as a direct quotation. Consider whether an indirect quote or direct quote is best here in your language. Alternate translation, following a comma: [“I am his sister”]
לְמַ֨עַן֙ יִֽיטַב־לִ֣י
so_that go_well to=me
Alternate translation: [so that I will be treated well] or [so that people will treat me well]

and,it_will_live (Some words not found in UHB: say now sister_of,[are]_my you so_that go_well to=me because,of,you and,it_will_live life_of,my on,account_of,of_you )
For some languages it is not natural to include the phrase because of you here, because it repeats the same idea as for your sake in the previous clause. Alternate translation: [and my life will be spared by them] or [and they will spare my life] or [and they will let me live]

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.
