uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יֵּשְׁבוּ֮ לֶֽ⁠אֱכָל לֶחֶם֒

and=they_lived to,eat food/grain/bread

It is clear from verse 29 that Reuben was not there when his brothers made the plan to sell Joseph to the traders.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠יִּשְׂא֤וּ עֵֽינֵי⁠הֶם֙ וַ⁠יִּרְא֔וּ

and,lifted_up eyes,their and=they_saw

See how you translated the idiom “lifted … eyes” in Gen 22:13. Alternate translation: “and while they were eating, they looked around”

וְ⁠הִנֵּה֙

and=see/lo/see!

Alternate translation: “and saw that” or “and they saw that”

אֹרְחַ֣ת

caravan

A caravan is a large group of people who are traveling together. Alternate translation: “a large company of”

יִשְׁמְעֵאלִ֔ים

Ishmaelites

See how you translated the names of other people groups in Gen 15:19-21. Alternate translation: “Ishmaelite merchants” or “traders from the Ishmael people group” or “traders who were descendants of Ishmael”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

בָּאָ֖ה מִ⁠גִּלְעָ֑ד

coming from,Gilead

For some languages it may be clearer to change the order of some of the implied information in this sentence and say, “… and saw/noticed that headed their way/direction was a large group of Ishmaelite traders/merchants that was coming/traveling from the region of Gilead.” Do what is best in your language. Also, be consistent here with how you spelled Gilead in Gen 31:21, 23, 25. Alternate translation: “was coming toward them from the region of Gilead.” or “was traveling from the region of Gilead and was headed their way.”

וּ⁠גְמַלֵּי⁠הֶ֣ם נֹֽשְׂאִ֗ים

and,camels,their carrying

Consider again how you translated “camel” in the book of Genesis. See Gen 12:16 (and note); 24:10-11, 14, 19-20, 22, 25, 30-32, 35, 44, 46, 61, 63-64; 30:43; 31:17, 18, 34; 32:7, 15; 37:25.

Note 4 topic: translate-unknowns

נְכֹאת֙ וּ⁠צְרִ֣י וָ⁠לֹ֔ט

aromatic_gum and,balm and,myrrh

Gilead was a mountainous region east of the Jordan River that was famous as a source of balm (or balsam), which was a rare tree resin that was used for perfume and for medicine. Myrrh was another type of tree resin that was used as incense and as medicine. You could put some of that information in a footnote. Alternate translation: “expensive spices, healing resin and incense”

הוֹלְכִ֖ים לְ⁠הוֹרִ֥יד מִצְרָֽיְמָ⁠ה

on_~_way to,carry_~_down towards=Miʦrayim/(Egypt)

Alternate translation: “that they were transporting down to the country of Egypt to sell there.” or “that they were taking to sell in the country of Egypt.”

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

37:25-28 The Ishmaelite traders were descendants of the slave child who was cast out for mocking Isaac. Now they would enslave Joseph. When he was sold for twenty pieces of silver and carried to Egypt, he was at least preserved alive.
