OET (OET-RV) and they will be as numerous as dust particles, and you’ll all spread out to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south. And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.
וְהָיָ֤ה זַרְעֲךָ֙
and=it_was your(ms)=seed/fruit
Alternate translation: “And your descendants will be” or “You will have so many descendants that they will be”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
כַּעֲפַ֣ר הָאָ֔רֶץ
like,dust the=earth/land
See how you translated dust in Gen 13:16. Alternate translation: “as many as the dust specks on the ground,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וּפָרַצְתָּ֛
and,spread_out
In this clause you refers to Jacob’s descendants. Make sure that is clear in your translation. Alternate translation: “and your people will spread out” or “so that they expand their territory”
יָ֥מָּה וָקֵ֖דְמָה וְצָפֹ֣נָה וָנֶ֑גְבָּה
west,to and,east,to and,north,to and,south,to
See how you translated the names of the directions “west,” “east,” “north,” and south in Gen 13:14. Notice that they are in a different order there. Alternate translation: “to the west, east, north, and south.” or “to the north, south, east, and west.”
בְךָ֛ & וּבְזַרְעֶֽךָ
in=you(ms) & and,in/on/at/with,offspring,your
Be consistent here with how you translated your offspring in Gen 22:18 and 26:4. Alternate translation: “In you and your offspring” or “Because of you and your offspring” or “By means of you and your offspring”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
וְנִבְרֲכ֥וּ & כָּל מִשְׁפְּחֹ֥ת הָאֲדָמָ֖ה
and,blessed & all/each/any/every clans_of the=soil
For some languages it may be better to change the order of phrases in this sentence and say, “And I will bless all the families in the world through you and your offspring/descendants.” or “I will use you and your offspring/descendants to bless all the families on earth.” See how you translated similar Messianic blessings in Gen 12:3, 18:18, 22:18, and 26:4. Alternate translation: “all the families on the earth will be blessed by me.” or “I will bless all the clans in the world.”
28:14 Jacob inherited Abraham’s entire covenant (see 22:17), which confirmed Isaac’s blessing (28:3-4) and stipulated a temporary exile (28:15; see 15:12-16).

OET (OET-RV) and they will be as numerous as dust particles, and you’ll all spread out to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south. And all the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
