The phrase and said introduces a direct quotation. In your translation, use a natural way of introducing direct quotations in your language. It may not be necessary to represent this phrase explicitly. Make sure your translation of they blessed Rebekah and said to her refers to the same event, not two separate events. Alternate translation: [And they blessed Rebekah by saying to her]
אֲחֹתֵ֕נוּ
our_sister_of,O
This is a term of endearment that family members used to refer to Rebekah even though she was not the actual sister of all of them. This practice is common in many cultures. Do what is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Dear little sister]
