OET (OET-RV) When Gid’on got close, a man was telling his companion about his dream. “Listen,” he said, “I had a dream and wow, a round loaf of barley bread was tumbling into our camp. It came as far as the tent and struck it so that it fell and turned it upside down, and collapsed completely.”

As the Introduction to Judges discusses, the author is using the term behold to call attention to what he is about to say. Similarly, the man is saying Behold … behold not to get his comrade to look at something but to get him to pay attention to what he is about to say. Your language may have comparable expressions that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [and what he found was that a man was recounting … Now listen … and in my dream]

It might seem that the expression I dreamed a dream contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [I had a dream]

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.
