OET (OET-RV) Then Yacob raised his head and looked ahead, and wow, Esau was coming towards him along with his four hundred men. Then Yacob quickly divided the children among Le’ah and Rahel and their two female slaves,
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
וַיִּשָּׂ֨א יַעֲקֹ֜ב עֵינָ֗יו וַיַּרְא֙
and,lifted_up Yaakob eyes,his and=he/it_saw
Make sure your translation of this idiom does not mean that Jacob looked straight up. Rather, he probably looked carefully to the south (the direction that his brother was coming from). Alternate translation: “Then Jacob looked up and saw” or “Then Jacob looked ahead of him and saw”
וְהִנֵּ֣ה עֵשָׂ֣ו בָּ֔א
and=see/lo/see! ˊĒsāv he/it_came
Esau was still a fair distance away, which gave Jacob time to do everything that he does in verses 1-3. Alternate translation: “that Esau was in the distance coming his way,”
וְעִמּ֕וֹ אַרְבַּ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת אִ֑ישׁ
and,with,him four hundreds (a)_man
Alternate translation: “with 400 men!” or “and that he had 400 men with him!”
וַיַּ֣חַץ אֶת הַיְלָדִ֗ים עַל לֵאָה֙ וְעַל רָחֵ֔ל וְעַ֖ל שְׁתֵּ֥י הַשְּׁפָחֽוֹת
and,divided DOM the=youths on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in Lēʼāh and,among Rāḩēl and,among two(fd) the,maids
Each of the women had her own children with her (verse 2). See how you translated divided in Gen 32:7 and “his two maidservants” in Gen 32:22. Alternate translation: “So he quickly put his children into groups with their own mothers, Leah, Rachel and his two servant wives.” or “So he had his children quickly gather with their own mothers, so that Leah, Rachel and his two concubines were each with her own children.”
33:1-17 Jacob’s long-anticipated meeting with his brother Esau turned out far better than he had feared. Esau’s changed heart is an example of how “God fights” (See 32:28). Earlier, he had cared little about the birthright (25:32-34); now he cared little for old grudges. Jacob recognized that God had intervened.

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.
