OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said to/for_them the_know DOM Laban the_son of_Nahor and_they_said we_know_[him].
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֔ם
and=he/it_said to/for=them
Consider what is the most natural way in your language to translate quote margins in a conversation that goes back and forth quickly like the one in verses 4-8. After the conversation gets started, it often sounds more life-like and natural to shorten the quote margins and leave implied some of the references to the people who are being talked to (as long as it is still clear who is talking to whom).
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
הַיְדַעְתֶּ֖ם אֶת לָבָ֣ן בֶּן נָח֑וֹר
the,know DOM Laban son_of Nahor
Consider what is the best way to order this question in your language.
Note 3 topic: writing-quotations
וַיֹּאמְר֖וּ
and=they_said
Alternate translation: “They replied,”
יָדָֽעְנוּ
know
Hebrew does not have a single word for “Yes”, but rather repeats words from what was asked. Do what is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Yes, we know him.”
29:2-12 Jacob’s meeting Rachel at the well was providentially timed by the sovereign God who was leading Jacob to fulfillment of the promises (cp. 24:12-20). The well was a reminder of God’s blessing (cp. 16:13-14; 21:19; 26:19-25, 33).

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.
