OET (OET-LV) And_afraid and_said how awesome the_place the_this [is]_not this if/because (if) the_house_of god and_this [is]_the_gate_of the_heavens.
OET (OET-RV) So he was afraid and said to himself, “This place is spine-chilling—it’s nothing other than God’s house, and it’s heaven’s gateway.”
וַיִּירָא֙ וַיֹּאמַ֔ר
and,afraid and,said
Alternate translation: “He was afraid, so he also said”
מַה־נּוֹרָ֖א הַמָּק֣וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה
what? awesome the,place the=this
The word awesome refers here to the terror that Jacob was feeling from being in the holy presence of Almighty God. Alternate translation: “This is an awesome place!” or “This place is terrifying!”
אֵ֣ין זֶ֗ה כִּ֚י אִם־בֵּ֣ית אֱלֹהִ֔ים
not this that/for/because/then/when if house_of ʼElohīm
Alternate translation: “It must be the house where God himself lives!”
וְזֶ֖ה שַׁ֥עַר הַשָּׁמָֽיִם
and=this gate_of the=heavens
Consider whether or not it is best in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “It can only be the gateway to heaven!” or “It must be the gateway to heaven!”
28:10-22 Despite Jacob’s previous means of securing the blessing, God assured him of protection and provision. The God of Abraham and Isaac was also the God of Jacob. The revelation dramatically changed Jacob’s outlook and brought faith into clearer focus.

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.
