Yōşēf/(Joseph)
If you include the meaning of Joseph’s name here in your translation or in a footnote, make sure it matches the way you translate what Rachel says next.

לֵאמֹ֑ר
to=say
For some languages it is more natural to put the last half of verse 24 first in the verse and say, “She also said, “May Yahweh add/give another son to me.” So she named that/her son Joseph, which means “may he add/give another.”” Do what is best in your language.
יֹסֵ֧ף יְהוָ֛ה לִ֖י בֵּ֥ן אַחֵֽר
add YHWH to=me son next/another
Alternate translation: “I ask that Yahweh will give me another son.” or “I ask Yahweh to give me another son.”
30:22-24 Rachel finally gave birth to her own son, Joseph. His birth was brought about by God’s intervention, not by superstitious practices (30:14-16) or the social custom of giving servants as wives.
• Removed (Hebrew ’asap, “take away”) sounds similar to Joseph (Hebrew yosep, “may he add”). Rachel rejoiced over Joseph’s birth, yet she prayed that the Lord would add yet another son to her family.

OET (OET-RV) She named him ‘Yosef’ (which means ‘may he give another’), saying, “May Yahweh add another son to me.”
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.
