The phrase And it happened introduces a new episode here. Some translations leave it implied. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Meanwhile,” or “At this time,”
וַיֵּ֥רֶד יְהוּדָ֖ה מֵאֵ֣ת אֶחָ֑יו
and=he/it_descended Yehuda from,with brothers,his
Alternate translation: “Judah left his brothers and traveled down”
וַיֵּ֛ט עַד אִ֥ישׁ עֲדֻלָּמִ֖י
and,settled until (a)_man Adullamite
The word Adullamite refers to the fact that Hirah was from the town of Adullam; it is not the name of a people group. The town of Adullam was about 19 kilometers (12 miles) northwest of the city of Hebron (37:14), and was lower in elevation, which is why the text says that Judah went down to get there. Alternate translation: “and lived in the town of Adullam near the home of a man from there” or “to the town of Adullam and lived near the home of a man from there”
38:1-30 The story of Judah and Tamar is a carefully placed interlude; it reports what was happening in the family of Judah, who would later rise to prominence, and it shows the beginnings of assimilation with the people of the land to help explain why God sent the family to Egypt (chs 39–47). The Egyptians were strict separatists (43:32); the Israelites would retain their unique identity better in Egypt than in Canaan.

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.
