OET (OET-LV)If/because completely_(shut_up) he_had_shut_up YHWH behind every womb of_household of_ʼAⱱīmelek on the_matter of_Sārāh the_wife of_ʼAⱱrāhām.

OET (OET-RV)because Yahweh had made every woman in Abimelech’s household barren because of what had been happening to Abraham’s wife, Sarah.

uW Translation Notes:

כִּֽי & יְהוָ֔ה

that/for/because/then/when &YHWH

For some languages it may be more natural to begin a new sentence here. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “because previously Yahweh”

Note 1 topic: grammar-honorifics

עָצֹ֤ר עָצַר֙ & בְּעַ֥ד כָּל רֶ֖חֶם לְ⁠בֵ֣ית אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ

to_close he_closed & behind all/each/any/every wombs of,household ʼAⱱīmelek

Consider again how often you need to use the honorific title “King” with Abimelech’s name in this chapter in your language.

עַל דְּבַ֥ר

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in word/matter_of

Alternate translation: “on account of” or “to punish him for taking”

Note 2 topic: translate-versebridge

שָׂרָ֖ה אֵ֥שֶׁת אַבְרָהָֽם

Sārāh wife_of ʼAⱱrāhām's

For some languages, it may be more natural to change the order of the clauses in this sentence (which begins in verse 17) and say, “Before this, Yahweh had completely closed up every womb in the household of King Abimelech because he had taken Abraham’s wife Sarah. Then Abraham prayed …” If the order is changed, it will be necessary to combine these two verses and to put the verse numbers “17-18” in front of the sentence. Some translation teams have decided that they will never combine verses like that. Other teams have decided that occasionally it is acceptable to do that if it makes the meaning clearer.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

20:1-18 This second “sister story” in Genesis (cp. 12:10-20) occurred shortly before Sarah became pregnant with Isaac (ch 21). On both occasions, God protected Abraham and Sarah’s marriage in purity for the sake of the covenant promises. Participation in God’s plan requires separation from worldly corruption.
• This story took place in the Promised Land; it showed Israel how God intervened in people’s lives to fulfill his plan, how God continued to protect them against threats from other tribes, and how God used his chosen people to mediate his relationship with the nations.
• God’s preventing the destruction of Abraham’s marriage by adultery reminded the Israelites to keep their marriages morally and racially pure (Ezra 9:1-4; Neh 13:23-27; Mal 2:10-17); they should not allow any opportunity for temptation (Exod 20:14, 17; Lev 20:10; 21:13-15). Adultery would eventually destroy the covenant and the covenant people.

OET (OET-RV)because Yahweh had made every woman in Abimelech’s household barren because of what had been happening to Abraham’s wife, Sarah.

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.
