OET (OET-RV) “Give me a blessing,” she requested. “Although you’ve given me land in the southern wilderness, give me some springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
הָֽבָה
come=now!
This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. Use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: “Please give”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
בְרָכָ֗ה
blessing
In this context, the word blessing is an abstract noun. It does not refer to something that someone would say to cause good and beneficial things to happen to a person. Instead, it refers to a good and beneficial thing itself. If your language does not use abstract nouns in this way, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “something that will benefit me”
Note 3 topic: translate-tense
וְנָתַתָּ֥ה לִ֖י
and=you(ms)_will_give to=me
Aksah is using a verb form that could either indicate what a person ought to do or what a person is going to do. This could mean: (1) that since the land Caleb gave Aksah and Othniel was dry, he also ought to give them some land with springs of water. Alternate translation: “you should also give me” (2) that Aksah is answering Caleb’s question and this is implicitly her request. Alternate translation: “my request is that you will also give me”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
גֻּלֹּ֣ת מָ֑יִם & אֵ֚ת גֻּלֹּ֣ת עִלִּ֔ית וְאֵ֖ת גֻּלֹּ֥ת תַּחְתִּֽית
springs water & DOM springs upper and=DOM springs lower
Aksah and the author are using these expressions to mean by association the land on which these springs were located. Alternate translation: “some land that has springs of waters … some land in that area where there were upper springs and lower springs”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
גֻּלֹּ֣ת מָ֑יִם
springs water
It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: “springs” or “land on which there are springs”
OET (OET-LV) And_she/it_said to_him/it come_now to/for_me a_blessing if/because the_land the_Negeⱱ given_me and_you(ms)_will_give to_me springs of_water and_gave to/for_her/it Kālēⱱ DOM springs upper and_DOM springs lower.
OET (OET-RV) “Give me a blessing,” she requested. “Although you’ve given me land in the southern wilderness, give me some springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
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.
