See how you translated Then it happened in verse 24. The same phrase occurs three times in verses 27–29 to draw attention to the peak of this chapter, the birth of Perez, who was the ancestor of King David and the Messiah.
וְהִנֵּ֥ה תְאוֹמִ֖ים בְּבִטְנָֽהּ
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was at,the_time_of she,gave_birth and=see/lo/see! twins [were]_in,womb_of,her )
Alternate translation: [amazingly there were twins inside her!] or [they saw that there were twins inside her!] or [it turned out that she was going to have twins!]
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.
