OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said daughter of_whom [are]_you tell please to_me is_there the_house father’s_your room to/for_us to_spend_the_night.
OET (OET-RV) “Tell me, whose daughter are you?” he asked her. “Is there room at your father’s house for us to stay?”
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר֙
and=he/it_said
Alternate translation: “Then he said to her” or “Then he asked Rebekah,”
בַּת מִ֣י אַ֔תְּ הַגִּ֥ידִי נָ֖א לִ֑י
daughter_of who? you tell now to=me
The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. The phrase Please tell me can go: (1) with the previous question (“Whose daughter are you?”); or (2) with the following question (“Is there a place...to lodge?”). Since Abraham’s servant’s goal was to find a wife for Isaac who was one of Abraham’s relatives, the first interpretation seems most likely.
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
הֲיֵ֧שׁ בֵּית אָבִ֛יךְ מָק֥וֹם
?,is_there house_of father's,your place
If you made your father explicit in the previous sentence, it may be more natural to refer to him with the pronoun “his” in this sentence. Alternate translation: “Also, is there enough room in his house” or “Also, does your father have any room in his house”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
לָ֖נוּ
to/for=us
The pronoun us includes other servants who came with Abraham’s chief servant (as verse 32 shows). If your language has inclusive and exclusive forms of this pronoun, you should use the exclusive form here.
לָלִֽין
to,spend_the_night
Alternate translation: “to stay there tonight?”
24:1-67 Isaac’s marriage to Rebekah ensured that God’s plan would continue into the next generation. God showed covenant faithfulness by working through his faithful people (24:12, 27, 49).
OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said daughter of_whom [are]_you tell please to_me is_there the_house father’s_your room to/for_us to_spend_the_night.
OET (OET-RV) “Tell me, whose daughter are you?” he asked her. “Is there room at your father’s house for us to stay?”
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.
