OET (OET-RV) Then the slave took ten of his master’s camels and loaded them with all kinds of good things from his master, and with his own slaves, he travelled to the city of Nahor in the Aram Naharaim region.
וַיִּקַּ֣ח הָ֠עֶבֶד עֲשָׂרָ֨ה גְמַלִּ֜ים מִגְּמַלֵּ֤י אֲדֹנָיו֙
and=he/it_took the,servant ten camels of,camels master's,his
Make sure that your translation of took does not imply that the servant stole the camels or valuable things from Abraham. Rather, the good things that he loaded on the camels included things that he would give as gifts to Isaac’s relatives (verse 53). Also, see how you translated camels in Gen 12:16.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיֵּ֔לֶךְ וְכָל ט֥וּב אֲדֹנָ֖יו בְּיָד֑וֹ וַיָּ֗קָם
and=he/it_went and=all good_things master's,his in=his/its=hand and=he/it_rose_up
For some languages, it is best to make it explicit here in verse 10 that other servants went with Abraham’s chief servant, rather than have them appear suddenly in verse 32. Do what is best in your language.
וַיֵּ֛לֶךְ אֶל
and=he/it_went to/towards
This was about a 800 kilometer (500 mile) trip and would take camels about seventeen days to complete. Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “and made the long journey to” or “Then he traveled to”
אֶל עִ֥יר נָחֽוֹר
to/towards to/towards (a)_city Nahor
Nahor lived in the city of Haran (Gen 11:31-32). That information could be put in a footnote. Make sure your translation of this phrase does not sound like Nahor owned the city.
24:10 Aram-naharaim (“Aram of the two rivers”) was also called Paddan-aram (“the field of Aram,” cp. 25:20). It was a two-week journey in each direction, so the servant had ten . . . camels for provisions and gifts (24:22, 53).

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.
