If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. The UST models one way to do this.
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
אֶת־נֹ֧אוד הֶחָלָ֛ב
DOM skin the,milk
The word translated as skin refers to a bag made out of animal skin that was used for holding liquids. If your readers would not be familiar with this object, in your translation you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “a leather bag of milk”
4:19 The milk was probably the curds so favored by the Arabs (cp. “yogurt,” 5:25); many believe that it is soporific.

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.
