(Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_took the=woman and,she_spread DOM the,covering on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of of,the_well and,she_spread_out on/upon/above=him/it the,grain(s) and=not known anything )

The author is using the face of the well as a common expression of his culture to mean “the top of the well” or “the opening of the well.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the mouth of the well]

and=not known (Some words not found in UHB: and=she/it_took the=woman and,she_spread DOM the,covering on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of of,the_well and,she_spread_out on/upon/above=him/it the,grain(s) and=not known anything )

The expression was not known is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [so no one knew the matter]
