Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
וְאַשְׁבִּ֣יעֲךָ֔
and,swear,you
Decide the best way to translate this command in your language. Also, see how you translated swear in Gen 21:23, and see the note about that there. Alternate translation: “and vow to me” or “and make an unbreakable promise to me”
בַּֽיהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וֵֽאלֹהֵ֖י הָאָ֑רֶץ
in/on/at/with,LORD god the=heavens and,God the=earth/land
See how you translated “the heavens and the earth” in Gen 1:1. Alternate translation: “with Yahweh as your witness, the God who rules the heavens and the earth,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹֽא תִקַּ֤ח אִשָּׁה֙ לִבְנִ֔י
which/who not take woman/wife for,son,my
For some languages it is clearer and more natural to make “Isaac” explicit here in verse 3 rather than wait until the end of verse 4. Do what is best in your language. Also, see how you translated the idiom “took a wife for” in Gen 21:21. Alternate translation: “that you will not get a woman for my son Isaac to marry from among”
מִבְּנוֹת֙ הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֔י אֲשֶׁ֥ר אָנֹכִ֖י יוֹשֵׁ֥ב בְּקִרְבּֽוֹ
from,daughters the,Canaanites which/who I live in/on/at/with,midst,him
Make sure your translation does not sound like Abraham was living by himself among the Canaanites; his family and servants also lived among them with him. Alternate translation: “the Canaanite women whom we live among”
24:3 Isaac knew how wicked and threatening the local Canaanite people were, so he maintained separation from them (cp. 26:34-35; 27:46; 28:8-9).

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.
