OET (OET-LV) And_when_went Mosheh into the_tent_of meeting to_speak with_him/it and_he/it_listened DOM the_voice speaking to_him/it from_under the_atonement_cover which was_on the_box_of the_transcript from_between the_two_of the_cherubims and_he/it_spoke to_him/it.
OET (OET-RV) Then Mosheh entered the sacred tent to speak with Yahweh. He heard the voice speaking to him from between the two images of winged-creatures that were on the platform above the sacred box. That’s how Yahweh spoke to him.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וּבְבֹ֨א מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶל־אֹ֣הֶל מוֹעֵד֮ לְדַבֵּ֣ר אִתּוֹ֒ וַיִּשְׁמַ֨ע & וַיְדַבֵּ֖ר אֵלָֽיו
and,when,went Mosheh to/towards tent/house meeting to,speak with=him/it and=he/it_listened & and=he/it_spoke to=him/it
Here, the author could be describing: (1) a specific event that happened after the altar was anointed and the offerings were given. Alternate translation: [And then Moses went to the tent of meeting to speak with him, and he heard … And he spoke to him] (2) what Moses and Yahweh normally did once the altar was anointed and the offerings were given. Alternate translation: [And whenever Moses went to the tent of meeting to speak with him, he would hear … And he would speak to him]
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
אִתּוֹ֒
with=him/it
The pronoun him refers to Yahweh. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [with God]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
וַיִּשְׁמַ֨ע אֶת־הַקּ֜וֹל מִדַּבֵּ֣ר
and=he/it_listened DOM the,voice speaking
The author is using the voice to represent God himself. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. However, the author intentionally used an indirect reference to God, so use an indirect form in your language if it is possible. Alternate translation: [then he heard Yahweh speaking]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
מֵעַ֤ל הַכַּפֹּ֨רֶת֙ אֲשֶׁר֙ עַל־אֲרֹ֣ן הָעֵדֻ֔ת מִבֵּ֖ין שְׁנֵ֣י הַכְּרֻבִ֑ים
from=under the_atonement,cover which/who on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in ark_of of,the_testimony from,between two_of the=cherubims
The implication is that Yahweh’s voice came not only from above the atonement lid, but also specifically from the space between the two cherubs that were on top of it. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [from the area above the atonement lid that is on the Box of the Testimony, which is between the two cherubs that are above the Box of the Testimony]
Note 5 topic: writing-pronouns
וַיְדַבֵּ֖ר אֵלָֽיו
and=he/it_spoke to=him/it
The pronoun he refers to Yahweh, while the pronoun him refers to Moses. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And Yahweh spoke to Moses]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיְדַבֵּ֖ר אֵלָֽיו
and=he/it_spoke to=him/it
By And he spoke to him, the author means that what he describes in this verse is the way that Yahweh spoke to Moses. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [He spoke to him in that way] or [Thus he spoke to him]

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.
