OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said to_them Yōşēf/(Joseph) in_the_day the_third this do and_live DOM the_ʼElohīm I [am]_fearing.
OET (OET-RV) On the third day, Yosef told them, “I’m a man who reveres God. So if you do exactly what I say, I’ll let you live.
וַיֹּ֨אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֤ם יוֹסֵף֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁ֔י
and=he/it_said to,them Yōşēf/(Joseph) in_the=day the=third
See how you translated on the third day in Gen 22:4, 31:22, 40:20. It may be necessary to translate this phrase in different ways, depending on the context. Alternate translation: “After three days, Joseph said to them,”
זֹ֥את עֲשׂ֖וּ
this(f) do
Alternate translation: “Do what I say and” or “If you do this,” or “If you do what I say,”
וִֽחְי֑וּ
and,live
Alternate translation: “you will live,” or “I will spare your lives,”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
אֶת הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים אֲנִ֥י יָרֵֽא
DOM the=ʼElohīm I fearing
For some languages it is more natural to put this clause first in this verse and say, “I am a man who reveres/respects God. So if you do what I say, I will let you live.” Do what is best in your language. See how you translated fear God in Gen 22:12. Alternate translation: “since I respect and obey God:”
42:18-20 Rather than keep all but one, Joseph would release all but one to take grain home to their starving families.

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.
