OET (OET-RV) Yisra’el (Israel/Yacob/Jacob) lived in the area where his father Yitshak had stayed, in the Canaan region.

Chapter 37 continues the history about Jacob that left off at the end of chapter 35. Begin this chapter in a way that is natural in your language. Make sure the way you translate lived allows for the fact that Jacob was already living in Canaan and had settled near the city of Hebron, where his father and grandfather had lived previously (Gen 35:27). Alternate translation: “Now Jacob was still living”
בְּאֶ֖רֶץ מְגוּרֵ֣י אָבִ֑יו בְּאֶ֖רֶץ כְּנָֽעַן
in=land where_~_hadstayed his/its=father in=land Kenaan
See how you translated “sojourned” in Gen 35:27 and the land of Canaan in Gen 35:6. Alternate translation: “in the land of Canaan where his father Isaac had lived for a while as a outsider.”
37:1 In ch 36, Esau was well on his way to power and prosperity; by contrast, Jacob, still waiting for the promise, settled in the land as a foreigner, like his father. He was still a temporary resident with a single family. Worldly greatness often comes more swiftly than spiritual greatness. Waiting for the promised spiritual blessing while others prosper is a test of patience, faith, and perseverance.

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.
