OET (OET-LV) And_blessed DOM Riⱱqāh and_they_said to/for_her/it sister_our you become to_thousands of_ten_thousand and_possess offspring_your DOM the_gate enemies_their.
OET (OET-RV) They prayed a blessed for Rebekah, saying
⇔ “Our sister, may you become the mother of thousands,
⇔ and may your descendants defeat all of their enemies.”
וַיְבָרֲכ֤וּ אֶת רִבְקָה֙ וַיֹּ֣אמְרוּ לָ֔הּ
and,blessed DOM Riⱱqāh and=they_said to/for=her/it
Make sure your translation of “blessed … and said” refers to the same event, not two separate events.
אֲחֹתֵ֕נוּ
sister,our
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,”
אַ֥תְּ הֲיִ֖י
you become
Alternate translation: “may you become the mother of” or “we pray that you will have”
לְאַלְפֵ֣י רְבָבָ֑ה
to,thousands ten_thousands
Alternate translation: “thousands and thousands of descendants,” or “many thousands of descendants,”
וְיִירַ֣שׁ זַרְעֵ֔ךְ
and,possess offspring,your
Alternate translation: “and we pray that your descendants will defeat” or “and we pray that God will help them defeat”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
אֵ֖ת שַׁ֥עַר שֹׂנְאָֽיו
DOM gates enemies,their
See how you translated the phrase possess the gates in Gen 22:17. Alternate translation: “the cities of all their enemies!”
24:60 At Rebekah’s departure, her family invoked the blessing that she would be a mother of many millions and that her descendants would conquer . . . their enemies. Rebekah’s marriage to Isaac was part of God’s plan to bless all humankind (12:1-3).
