Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

כִּ֤י יָרֵא֙ לֵ⁠אמֹ֣ר אִשְׁתִּ֔⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_asked men_of of,the_place of,wife_of,his and=he/it_said sister_of,[is]_my who/which that/for/because/then/when fearing to=say wife_of,my lest they,should_kill_me men_of of,the_place on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Riⱱqāh that/for/because/then/when attractive_of appearance she/it )

See how you translated the men of the place earlier in this verse. Also consider whether it is better in your language to use a direct or indirect quote here, and see what you did earlier in this verse. Alternate translation: [He thought that the men of that city might kill him] or [He was afraid that the men in that place would kill him]

עַל־רִבְקָ֔ה

For some languages it may be better to put this clause first in this verse and say, “Now Rebekah was very beautiful, so the men in that city started asking Isaac about her. Isaac was afraid they might kill him in order to take/have her, so he lied and told them she was his sister.” Alternate translation: [because she is very beautiful]
