OET (OET-RV) “We left like that,” Yacob answered Lavan, “because I was afraid, because I said that perhaps you would use force to take your married daughters from me.
Note 1 topic: writing-quotations
וַיַּ֥עַן יַעֲקֹ֖ב וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לְלָבָ֑ן
and,answered Yaakob and=he/it_said to,Laban
Alternate translation: “Jacob answered him,” or “Then Jacob told Laban”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
כִּ֣י יָרֵ֔אתִי
that/for/because/then/when afraid
Make sure it is clear here in your translation that Jacob is answering Laban’s question in verse 27, not his question in verse 30.
כִּ֣י אָמַ֔רְתִּי
that/for/because/then/when that/for/because/then/when thought
Consider whether it is more natural in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “I told myself that if you knew,”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
פֶּן תִּגְזֹ֥ל אֶת בְּנוֹתֶ֖יךָ מֵעִמִּֽי
lest take_~_byforce DOM daughters,your from,,me
Make sure you translate this sentence in a way that shows it is hypothetical. Also see how you translated “seized” in Gen 21:25.

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.
