and=he/it_went_out Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) to,meditate in_the=field
What Isaac does in verse 63 happened sometime after he returned from Beer Lahai Roi, but the Hebrew text does not say exactly when. So introduce this new event in a general way that is not too specific. Alternate translation: “One day he went out in the field to pray” or “After he had returned home, one day he was meditating out in the fields”

For some languages it is more natural to put this time phrase earlier in this sentence and say, “One day as it was becoming evening, Isaac/he went …” or “One evening, Isaac/he went …” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “as it was becoming dusk” or “late in the afternoon”
