OET (OET-LV) And becoming great, dissension, the commander having_been_afraid lest the Paulos may_be_torn_apart by them, commanded the army having_come_down, to_snatch him from midst of_them, and to_be_bringing him into the barracks.
OET (OET-RV) But the Roman commander was afraid that they might tear Paul apart in the big argument, so he called for his soldiers to come down to uplift Paul and return him to the barracks.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
διασπασθῇ ὁ Παῦλος ὑπ’ αὐτῶν
˓may_be˒_torn_apart ¬the Paul by them
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [they tear Paul apart]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
μὴ διασπασθῇ ὁ Παῦλος ὑπ’ αὐτῶν
lest ˓may_be˒_torn_apart ¬the Paul by them
Luke is making an overstatement here to emphasize the danger that Paul was in. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [lest they cause Paul great physical harm]
23:7-10 Paul’s statement (23:6) divided the council, with the Pharisees taking Paul’s side against the Sadducees. The resulting uproar was so great that the commander rescued Paul and took him back into the fortress of Antonia.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
