וַיְהִ֗י כַּאֲשֶׁ֨ר כִּלּ֤וּ הַגְּמַלִּים֙ לִשְׁתּ֔וֹת
and=he/it_was just=as finished the,camels to,drinking
Alternate translation: “After all the camels had drunk as much water as they wanted and Rebekah had stopped drawing water,”

וַיִּקַּ֤ח הָאִישׁ֙ נֶ֣זֶם זָהָ֔ב בֶּ֖קַע מִשְׁקָל֑וֹ
and=he/it_took the=man ring gold half_shekel weighing,him
Many translation teams keep the numbers and the names of weights that are used in the Bible text in their translation, and they may or may not put the modern equivalents in pounds or grams in a footnote. Other teams do the opposite. One beka was about 1/5 of an ounce (5.5 grams), and ten shekels (See below) was about 4 ounces (110 grams). Alternate translation: “the servant brought out a gold nose ring weighing one beka and gave it to her” or “the servant gave her a gold nose ring that weighed one beka”
וּשְׁנֵ֤י צְמִידִים֙ & זָהָ֖ב
and,two bracelets & gold
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “He also gave her two gold bracelets”
עַל יָדֶ֔יהָ
on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in arms,her
The Hebrew term is ambiguous here; it can refer to hands, arms, or wrists. However in this context, the bracelets would have been put on the arms or the wrists.
Note 3 topic: translate-bweight
עֲשָׂרָ֥ה & מִשְׁקָלָֽם
ten & weighing,them
Alternate translation: “Each bracelet weighed ten shekels.”
24:22 The servant showed his gratitude by giving the girl expensive jewelry.

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.
