OET (OET-LV) And_he_brought_down DOM the_people to the_waters and_ YHWH _he/it_said to Gidˊōn every one_who he_will_lap_up with_tongue_of_his some_of the_waters just_as it_laps_up the_dog you_will_set him alone and_all/each/any/every one_who he_will_bow_down on knees_of_his to_drink.
OET (OET-RV) So he took them down to the water and Yahweh told him, “Separate out those who lap up the water with their tongues like a dog would, along with those who kneel down to drink.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go
וַיּ֥וֹרֶד אֶת־הָעָ֖ם
and,he_brought_down DOM the,people
In a context such as this, your language might say “took” instead of brought. Alternate translation: [So he took the people down]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
וְכֹ֛ל אֲשֶׁר־יִכְרַ֥ע עַל־בִּרְכָּ֖יו לִשְׁתּֽוֹת
and=all/each/any/every (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_brought_down DOM the,people to/towards the=waters and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Gidˊōn all which/who laps with,tongue_of,his from/more_than the=waters just=as laps the,dog separate ,him alone, and=all/each/any/every which/who he_kneels on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in knees_of,his to,drink )
Yahweh is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and you shall put in a different group anyone who kneels upon his knees to drink]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
יִכְרַ֥ע עַל־בִּרְכָּ֖יו
he_kneels on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_brought_down DOM the,people to/towards the=waters and=he/it_said YHWH to/towards Gidˊōn all which/who laps with,tongue_of,his from/more_than the=waters just=as laps the,dog separate ,him alone, and=all/each/any/every which/who he_kneels on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in knees_of,his to,drink )
It might seem that the expression kneels upon his knees contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [kneels down]

OET (OET-RV) So he took them down to the water and Yahweh told him, “Separate out those who lap up the water with their tongues like a dog would, along with those who kneel down to drink.”
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.
