OET (OET-RV) Now Rahel realised that she wasn’t producing any children for Ya’akov (Jacob), so she envied her sister Le’ah, and she demanded from Ya’akov, “Give me children, and if you don’t, I’ll die!”

Rachel is using an extreme statement to show how desperate and deeply ashamed she feels about not having children. You could include a footnote here in your translation that explains how in that culture it was considered very shameful for a woman to be barren (See: Genesis 30:23). Alternate translation: [I have no reason to live!]

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.
