OET (OET-RV) Before I’d finished speaking in my heart, then wow, Rebekah was coming out with her jar on her shoulder. And she went down to the well and drew water, and I asked her, ‘Can I have a drink.’
אֲנִי֩ טֶ֨רֶם אֲכַלֶּ֜ה
I before/not_yet finished
Alternate translation: “Before I could even finish”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לְדַבֵּ֣ר אֶל לִבִּ֗י
to,speaking to/towards heart,my
Alternate translation: “praying to God in my heart,” or “praying to God quietly,”
וְהִנֵּ֨ה
and=see/lo/see!
Alternate translation: “just then I saw” or “there was”
רִבְקָ֤ה יֹצֵאת֙
Riⱱqāh came_out
See how you translated the first half of verse 15, which is very similar to the first half of verse 45.
וְכַדָּ֣הּ עַל שִׁכְמָ֔הּ
and,jar,her on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in shoulder,her
Alternate translation: “with her empty water jar on her shoulder.”
וַתֵּ֥רֶד הָעַ֖יְנָה וַתִּשְׁאָ֑ב
and,went_down the,spring,to and,drew_water
Consider again how you translated spring (verses 13, 16, 29-30, 42-43 and 45) and “well” (verses 11 and 20) in this chapter. Both terms refer to the same source of water. See the note about this at verse 13. Alternate translation: “She walked down to the spring and filled up her jar with water,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
וָאֹמַ֥ר אֵלֶ֖יהָ הַשְׁקִ֥ינִי נָֽא
and,said to=her/it drink,me now
Consider what is the best way to translate this embedded quote in your language. Alternate translation: “so I asked her to please give me a drink.”
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).

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.
