Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיַּפֵּל֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהִ֧ים תַּרְדֵּמָ֛ה עַל הָאָדָ֖ם
and=he/it_made_fall/lie_down YHWH ʼElohīm trance/deep_sleep/lethargy on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=humankind
Many languages have a similar idiom for caused a deep sleep to fall on that works well here. Consider what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Then Yahweh God caused the man to go into a deep sleep.” or “Then Yahweh God caused the man to sleep very deeply”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיִּישָׁ֑ן
and=he/it_fell_asleep
Consider whether it is best in your language to use a pronoun or a noun here to refer to the man. Alternate translation: “Then while the man was sleeping”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיִּקַּ֗ח
and=he/it_took
Consider whether to use a pronoun or noun here to refer to God. Make sure it is clear in your translation who is being referred to at each point in this verse. Alternate translation: “he took out”
אַחַת֙ מִצַּלְעֹתָ֔יו
one(fs) from=his/its=ribs/planks
This phrase is ambiguous in the Hebrew text. It could mean: (1) “one of the man’s ribs from his body/side” or “a rib from the man’s body/side” or (2) “part of the man’s side from his body”
וַיִּסְגֹּ֥ר בָּשָׂ֖ר תַּחְתֶּֽנָּה
and=he/it_closed_up flesh/meat instead_of=her/it
In this context, the term flesh probably includes muscles and skin. Alternate translation: “and filled in the hole where it had been with flesh and healed it.” or “and replaced it with flesh and healed him.”
2:4-25 This account (see study note on 2:4) of the heavens and the earth is not a second creation account; rather, it is a theological and historical expansion on 1:1–2:3. The focus is now on what the cosmos produced rather than on its creation. Special attention is given to the first man and woman. As the story progresses, it is colored by contrasts of good and evil, knowledge and ignorance, life and death, harmony and discord.

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.
