Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
סוּרָ֧ה
turn_aside,
This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. In your translation, use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. Alternate translation: “Please turn aside”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
סוּרָ֧ה
turn_aside,
Jael means implicitly that Sisera does not need to continue running away from the Israelites. He can Turn aside from the road he is on and come into her tent. Alternate translation: “Come in here”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
בַּשְּׂמִיכָֽה
in/on/at/with,rug
The word translated as blanket occurs only here in the Old Testament, so its meaning is not entirely certain. The word could refer to: (1) something that people use to keep warm in bed. Alternate translation: “with a coverlet” (2) something that people put on the floor for warmth and decorative purposes. Alternate translation: “with a carpet” (3) an outer garment. Alternate translation: “with a cloak”
4:17-20 Sisera felt that he was back in friendly circles (cp. 4:11). A woman whose husband was absent would normally invite a man into her tent only for sex, but Sisera would have interpreted this invitation as an opportunity for safe haven. Jael did nothing to shake his confidence as she concealed and refreshed him.

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.
