OET (OET-LV) And_took_him and_threw DOM_him/it the_pit_into and_the_pit [was]_empty there_[was]_not in/on/over_him/it water.
OET (OET-RV) Then they took him and dropped him into the pit. (The pit was empty with no water in the bottom).
וַיִּ֨קָּחֻ֔הוּ
and,took,him
If the phrase “grabbed/took hold of him” is made explicit in your translation in verse 23, it can be left implied here in verse 24.
וַיַּשְׁלִ֥כוּ אֹת֖וֹ הַבֹּ֑רָה
and,threw DOM=him/it the,pit,into
See how you translated “throw him” and cistern in verse 20. Alternate translation: “and put him into the well.”
וְהַבּ֣וֹר רֵ֔ק אֵ֥ין בּ֖וֹ מָֽיִם
and,the,pit empty not in/on/over=him/it water
Alternate translation: “Now the well was empty; it had no water in it.” or “The well was empty and completely dry inside.”
37:21-24 Reuben was perhaps trying to get back into his father’s good graces (35:22) by exercising the leadership of the firstborn (cp. 42:22). Reuben succeeded in saving Joseph’s life, but he failed to earn his father’s favor (37:29-30).

OET (OET-RV) Then they took him and dropped him into the pit. (The pit was empty with no water in the bottom).
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.
