26:1 Note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.
OET (OET-RV) Then there was a famine in the region (a different one from the earlier famine that was in the days of Abraham) so Yitshak moved to Gerar, the region of Abimelech, the Philistines king.

Consider what is the best way in your language to begin this new episode.
רָעָב֙
famine
See how you translated famine in Gen 12:10. Alternate translation: “another famine” or “another extreme lack of food” or “another time of severe food shortage”
מִלְּבַד֙ הָרָעָ֣ב הָרִאשׁ֔וֹן אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיָ֖ה
from,to/for,besides the,famine the,former which/who it_became
Alternate translation: “in addition to the previous one that occurred” or “This was a different famine from the one that had happened years before,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וַיֵּ֧לֶךְ יִצְחָ֛ק
and=he/it_went Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac)
In your translation it should not sound like Isaac went alone to the city of Gerar; the rest of his family lived with him.
אֶל אֲבִימֶּ֥לֶךְ מֶֽלֶךְ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים גְּרָֽרָה
to/towards ʼₐⱱīmelek king Pelishtim Gerar,to
Be consistent here with how you translated “the city of Gerar” in Gen 10:19; 20:1-2 and Philistines in Gen 10:14; 21:32, 34. Alternate translation: “went for help to the Philistine king Abimelech, who lived in the city of Gerar.”
26:1 This Abimelech is probably not the man in ch 20, for these events could have been 90 years apart. Possibly Abimelech was a dynastic name or title (a later King Achish, 1 Sam 21:10, was also called Abimelech, Ps 34:title).

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.
