Consider whether it is more natural to use a direct or indirect quote here in your language. Alternate translation: “I now have” or “Also tell him that I own”

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_commanded DOM=them to=say thus say, to,lord,my to,Esau thus he/it_had_said servant,your Yaakob with Lāⱱān staying and,stayed until now )
See how you translated donkeys and flocks in Gen 12:16. Alternate translation: “many cattle, donkeys, and flocks of sheep and goats,”
וְעֶ֣בֶד וְשִׁפְחָ֑ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_commanded DOM=them to=say thus say, to,lord,my to,Esau thus he/it_had_said servant,your Yaakob with Lāⱱān staying and,stayed until now )
See how you translated a similar phrase in Gen 12:16. Alternate translation: “as well as many men and women slaves”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / honorifics
וָֽאֶשְׁלְחָה֙ לְהַגִּ֣יד לַֽאדֹנִ֔י
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_commanded DOM=them to=say thus say, to,lord,my to,Esau thus he/it_had_said servant,your Yaakob with Lāⱱān staying and,stayed until now )
If you use indirect quotes in this section, make sure each part fits with the other parts, especially in your choice of pronouns. It is helpful if you read your translation aloud to check for accuracy and naturalness. Alternate translation: “Sir, I sent these messengers to you,”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_commanded DOM=them to=say thus say, to,lord,my to,Esau thus he/it_had_said servant,your Yaakob with Lāⱱān staying and,stayed until now )
See how you translated the idiom “found favor in your eyes” in Gen 30:27. Alternate translation: “hoping that you will be gracious to me when I arrive.” or “so that when we see each other you will be pleased with me and welcome me.”
32:3-5 Apparently inspired by the vision of angels (32:1, Hebrew mal’akim), Jacob sent messengers (mal’akim) into Edom to meet Esau.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
