OET (OET-RV) “Yahweh, the God of the heavens, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my relatives, and who spoke to me and who promised me, saying, ‘I’ll give this land to your descendants,’ he’ll send his messenger ahead of you, and you’ll be guaranteed to bring back a wife for my son from there.
יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י הַשָּׁמַ֗יִם
YHWH god the=heavens
Make sure it is clear in your translation that verse 7 gives the reason for verse 6. Also, consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here, and see how you translated the God of the heavens in verse 3. Alternate translation: “because Yahweh, the God who created the heavens,”
וּמֵאֶ֣רֶץ מֽוֹלַדְתִּי֒
and,from,land native,my
Alternate translation: “and from the land where the rest of my family live,”
וַאֲשֶׁ֨ר דִּבֶּר לִ֜י וַאֲשֶׁ֤ר נִֽשְׁבַּֽע לִי֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר
and=which he/it_had_said to=me and=which swore to=me to=say
Alternate translation: “and he made an vow to me and said,” or “and he made an unbreakable promise to me and said,”

לְזַ֨רְעֲךָ֔ אֶתֵּ֖ן אֶת הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּ֑את
to,offspring,your give DOM the=earth/land the,this
The phrase this land refers to the land of Canaan here, not the land where Abraham’s relatives lived. Make sure that is clear in your translation. Also, consider whether it is better in your language to translate this embedded quote with a direct quote or an indirect quote. Alternate translation: “I will give this land to your offspring” or “that he will give this land where we live to my descendants”
ה֗וּא יִשְׁלַ֤ח מַלְאָכוֹ֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ
he/it he/it_will_send_out/away angel,his to=your=face
If you begin a new sentence here, make sure that the previous sentence is well-formed and complete in your language. Also, see how you translated angel in Gen 22:11, 15. Alternate translation: “He will send one of his angels ahead of you to guide you,”
וְלָקַחְתָּ֥
and,take
Alternate translation: “so that you will be able to find” or “so that you can get”
אִשָּׁ֛ה לִבְנִ֖י מִשָּֽׁם
woman/wife for,son,my from=there
See how you translated “take/find a wife for” in verses 3-4. Alternate translation: “a wife from there for my son to marry” or “a wife from my home land for my son to marry.”
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.
