Note 1 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יִּפֹּ֥ל אַבְרָ֖ם עַל־פָּנָ֑י⁠ו

and,fell Avram on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in his/its=faces/face

Make sure that the translation of this clause does not sound like Abram fell down accidentally. Rather, he intentionally threw himself to the ground out of deep respect for God. Alternate translation: “Then Abram prostrated himself before God to show him respect,”

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

וַ⁠יְדַבֵּ֥ר אִתּ֛⁠וֹ אֱלֹהִ֖ים לֵ⁠אמֹֽר

and=he/it_spoke with=him/it ʼElhīmv to=say

Some translations omit saying here because it is not natural in those languages. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “and God spoke to him and said,” or “and God continued speaking with Abram,” or “and God added,”
