See how you translated “bowed down and prostrated himself” in verse 26, and see the note about that there. Alternate translation: “Next I bowed to the ground and worshiped and praised Yahweh,”
אֱלֹהֵי֙ אֲדֹנִ֣י אַבְרָהָ֔ם

See how you translated this phrase in verses 12 and 42. Alternate translation: “the God whom my master Abraham serves”

Alternate translation: “because he led me”
בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ אֱמֶ֔ת

Alternate translation: “the right direction” or “exactly where I should go”

Alternate translation: “to get”
אֶת בַּת אֲחִ֥י אֲדֹנִ֖י
DOM DOM daughter_of brother my=master
The Hebrew text is ambiguous here. It could mean: (1) “the granddaughter of my master’s brother”, which refers to Nahor's granddaughter; or (2) “the daughter of my master’s relative”, which refers to Bethuel's daughter. Abraham’s brother Nahor was the father of Bethuel and the grandfather of Rebekah (Genesis 11:26; 22:20-23).
לִבְנֽוֹ
for,son,his
Make sure it is clear in your translation that this refers to Abraham’s son, not Nahor’s or Bethuel’s son.
24:48 The way that God directed this event from behind the scenes is different than in most of Genesis, but it is true to how the life of faith normally works. Faith, expressed in personal prayer and obedience, looks for evidence of God’s working. Believers usually have to make wise choices and remain faithful to the covenant, trusting that God will guide them through the circumstances of life to accomplish his will.

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.
