Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

וַ⁠יִּטְבְּל֥וּ אֶת־הַ⁠כֻּתֹּ֖נֶת בַּ⁠דָּֽם

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_took DOM robe_of Yōşēf/(Joseph)'s and,they_slaughtered male_of goat and,they_dipped DOM the_long,garment in,blood )

For some languages it is more natural to switch the order of clauses in this verse and say, “Then/So Joseph’s brothers killed a young goat, took Joseph’s/his tunic/robe, and dipped it in the goat’s blood.” or “Then/So Joseph’s brothers killed a young goat and dipped Joseph’s/his tunic/robe in the goat’s blood.” Alternate translation: [and dipped the robe in its blood]

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.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
