OET (OET-RV) Look at the ravens. They don’t plant seeds or harvest crops and they have no storerooms or barns, yet God keeps them fed, and humans are worth a lot more than birds.
Note 1 topic: translate-unknown
τοὺς κόρακας
the ravens
The word ravens refers to large black birds, and it can apply either to crows or to actual ravens. If your readers would not be familiar with either of those birds, you could use a general term. Alternate translation: “the birds”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
οὐκ & ταμεῖον οὐδὲ ἀποθήκη
not & /a/_storeroom nor barn
These two words mean similar things. Jesus may be using them together to express a general meaning. Alternate translation: “no place to store food”
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
οὐκ & ταμεῖον οὐδὲ ἀποθήκη
not & /a/_storeroom nor barn
These are places where food is stored. If your readers would not be familiar with either term, you could use a more general one. Alternate translation: “no place to store food”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὑμεῖς διαφέρετε τῶν πετεινῶν!
˱for˲_how_much more you_all /are/_carrying_value_‹than› the birds
This is an exclamation, not a question. Jesus uses the exclamation to emphasize the point he wants his listeners to realize. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this as a statement. Alternate translation: “You need to realize how much more valuable people are to God than birds.”
12:24 Look at the ravens: Ravens were unclean (Lev 11:15; Deut 14:14), yet God cared even for them (Ps 147:9).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
