Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact
אִם־יֵ֨צְא֥וּ בְנוֹת־שִׁילוֹ֮ לָח֣וּל בַּמְּחֹלוֹת֒
if come_out daughters_of Shiloh to,dance in/on/at/with,dances
The elders are speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but they know that this is going to happen. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, then you could translate this as a confident statement. Alternate translation: [when the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
בְנוֹת שִׁילוֹ֮
daughters_of Shiloh
The elders are speaking of these young women as if they were the daughters of the city itself. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the young women who live in Shiloh]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
לָח֣וּל בַּמְּחֹלוֹת֒
to,dance in/on/at/with,dances
It might seem that the expression to dance in the dances contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [to dance]

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.
