OET (OET-RV) and he was getting close to death, so he called for his son Yosef and asked him, “If, please, I have found favour in your eyes, please give me your hand and promise to deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Please don’t bury me in Egypt.

and,drew_near days_of Yisrael to,die
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “When it was almost time for Israel to die,” or “He knew that it was almost time for him to die, so”
וַיִּקְרָ֣א לִבְנ֣וֹ לְיוֹסֵ֗ף
and=he/it_called to,son,his to,Joseph
Alternate translation: “he asked for his son Joseph to come to him”

אִם נָ֨א מָצָ֤אתִי חֵן֙ בְּעֵינֶ֔יךָ

Alternate translation: “Please show your favor toward me and” or “Please, if you truly love me,”
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
שִֽׂים נָ֥א יָדְךָ֖ תַּ֣חַת יְרֵכִ֑י
put now hand,your below/instead_of thigh,my
See how you translated this clause in Gen 24:2, and see the note about this custom there. Alternate translation: “put your hand under my leg to show that you will do what I ask,” or “make a vow by putting your hand under my leg,”
וְעָשִׂ֤יתָ עִמָּדִי֙ חֶ֣סֶד וֶאֱמֶ֔ת
and,deal with=me kindness and,faithfulness
Consider again how you translated kindness in Gen 19:19; 20:13; 21:23; 24:12, 14, 27, 49; 32:10; 39:21; 40:14; 47:29, and how you translated faithfulness in Gen 24:27, 48, 49; 32:10; 42:16; 47:29.
אַל נָ֥א תִקְבְּרֵ֖נִי
not now bury,me
Make sure your translation of bury me does not sound like Israel would still be alive when he was buried. Alternate translation: “Please promise that you will not bury my bones”
בְּמִצְרָֽיִם
in/on/at/with,Egypt
Alternate translation: “here in the land of Egypt.”
47:29-31 bury me with my ancestors: Cp. 49:29-33. Jacob wanted to be buried with Abraham and Isaac in the cave of Machpelah (see study note on 49:29-33; see 23:1-20; 25:7-10; 35:27-29).
• Put your hand under my thigh: This custom (cp. 24:1-9 and study note on 24:2) was a serious oath to carry on the covenant, which had as its main promise innumerable descendants in the Promised Land.

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.
