וַיִּשַּׁ֥ק יַעֲקֹ֖ב לְרָחֵ֑ל
and,kissed Yaakob on,Rachel
In that culture it was common to greet a relative with a kiss on the cheek (or both cheeks). However, if it would be offensive in your culture for Jacob to kiss Rachel here, you could translate this more generally (See: the second alternate translation above). Also see how you translated “kiss” in Gen 27:26-27. Alternate translation: “Then he kissed Rachel on the cheek” or “Then he greeted Rachel enthusiastically as one of his relatives”
וַיִּשָּׂ֥א אֶת קֹל֖וֹ וַיֵּֽבְךְּ
and,lifted_up DOM voice,his and,wept
See how you translated the idiom lifted his voice in Gen 27:38. However, here Jacob is crying because he is happy, not upset. Make sure that is clear in your translation. Alternate translation: “and he started crying loudly because he was so happy.”
29:11 Jacob kissed Rachel: Kissing relatives was a proper greeting (29:13; cp. Song 8:1).
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.
