thus he/it_had_said YHWH god Yisrael (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) to/towards all/each/any/every the,people thus he/it_had_said YHWH god Yisrael in/on/at/with,beyond the=river lived ancestors,your_all's from=long_ago/eternity Terah father_of ʼAⱱrāhām and=father_of Nahor and,served ʼElohīm other )
If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. See the discussion in the General Notes to this chapter of how you can do this through the end of this second-level quotation in verse 13. Alternate translation: “Yahweh, the God of Israel, is telling you that your fathers dwelled”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֲבֽוֹתֵיכֶם֙
ancestors,your_all's
As the General Notes to this chapter discuss, Yahweh is speaking of the ancestors of the Israelites as if they were their actual fathers. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly, here and throughout this chapter. Alternate translation: “your ancestors”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
הַנָּהָ֗ר
the=river
Yahweh assumes that the Israelites will know that by the river, he means the Euphrates River. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “the Euphrates River”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
תֶּ֛רַח אֲבִ֥י אַבְרָהָ֖ם וַאֲבִ֣י נָח֑וֹר
Terah father_of ʼAⱱrāhām and=father_of Nahor
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: “Your ancestor was Terah, who was the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor”
24:2 Terah: See Gen 11:27-32.

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.
