OET (OET-RV) And as for you, you’ll go to your ancestors in peace—you’ll be buried at a good old age.
וְאַתָּ֛ה
and=you(ms)
In the Hebrew text, the pronoun you is emphatic and has an emphatic position in the sentence (before the verb) to change the topic. Do what is clear and natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Now as for you,”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
תָּב֥וֹא אֶל אֲבֹתֶ֖יךָ בְּשָׁל֑וֹם
go to/towards fathers,your in/on/at/with,peace
This clause is a euphemism that refers to Abram’s death. However, it is best to translate the clause as literally as possible, since it implies the important information that people are still alive after they have died on earth. Also, notice that the term fathers refers here to ancestors who have died, not those who are still alive on earth. Alternate translation: “you will be at peace when you die and join your forefathers who have gone before you”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
תִּקָּבֵ֖ר בְּשֵׂיבָ֥ה טוֹבָֽה
buried in/on/at/with,old_age good
This clause is a euphemism that refers to Abram’s death. Make sure in your translation that it does not sound like he will be buried alive. For some languages it may be more natural to change the order of this sentence and say, “after you have lived a good/blessed long life, you will die peacefully and join your ancestors who have died before you.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “In fact, you will not die until you have lived a blessed, long life.” or “In fact, you will live a blessed, long life before you die.”
15:1-21 The Lord made a formal covenant with Abram, solemnly confirming the promises made at his call (12:1-3). There would be a long period of slavery for Abram’s descendants before these promises would be completely fulfilled.

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