OET (OET-RV) Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience and indeed I kept you from sinning against me. I didn’t allow you to touch her for that reason.
וַיֹּאמֶר֩ אֵלָ֨יו הָֽאֱלֹהִ֜ים בַּחֲלֹ֗ם
and=he/it_said to=him/it the=ʼₑlhīmv in/on/at/with,dream
Alternate translation: “God answered King Abimelech in the dream,”
גַּ֣ם אָנֹכִ֤י יָדַ֨עְתִּי֙ כִּ֤י
also/yet I I_know that/for/because/then/when
Alternate translation: “Yes, I know that it was” or “I am aware that it was”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
בְתָם לְבָבְךָ֙
in/on/at/with,integrity heart,your
See how you translated a similar phrase in verse 5. Alternate translation: “with a clear conscience” or “with pure motives”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
עָשִׂ֣יתָ זֹּ֔את
you(ms)_have_done/made this
For some languages it may be clearer or more natural to put this phrase before the previous one and say, “Yes, I know/realize that you did this with honorable/pure motives …” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “that you did this,” or “that you took her to be your wife,”
וָאֶחְשֹׂ֧ךְ גַּם־אָנֹכִ֛י אֽוֹתְךָ֖ מֵחֲטוֹ־לִ֑י
and,kept also/yet I DOM,you from,sinning to=me
In the Hebrew text, I is an emphatic pronoun. Try to communicate that emphasis in a natural way in your translation. Also, consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “and in fact, it is I who kept you from doing this sin against me.” or “In fact, I am the one who prevented you from sinning against me.”
לֹא נְתַתִּ֖יךָ
not let,you
Alternate translation: “I did not permit you to”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
לִנְגֹּ֥עַ אֵלֶֽיהָ
to,touch on,her
See how you translated the idiom “gone/come near to her” in verse 4, which has a meaning that is similar to the idiom here. Also, for some languages it may be better to change the order of these clauses and say, “I am the one who did not allow/permit you to touch her so that you would not sin against me.” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “have sexual relations with her.” or “do anything to her.”
20:6 Because Abimelech acted with a clear conscience, God kept him from sinning. God will graciously help those who try to do what is right. When people act with reverence toward God, God gives them more revelation and draws them into more specific faith (see Acts 10).

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.
