Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι
the Jews
Luke is using the name of a whole group, the Jews, to refer to some members of that group. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “certain Jews”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀνεθεμάτισαν ἑαυτοὺς
cursed themselves
The implication is that the curse was, “May God do so to us if we eat or drink until we have killed Paul,” that is, “May God kill us.” You can include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: “asked God to kill them if they did not do what they swore to do”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
λέγοντες μήτε φαγεῖν μήτε πιεῖν, ἕως οὗ ἀποκτείνωσιν τὸν Παῦλον
saying neither /to/_eat nor /to/_drink until ˱of˲_which ˱they˲_/may/_kill_off ¬the Paul
It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “saying, ‘We will neither eat or drink until we have killed Paul’”
23:12-15 The plan to kill Paul was desperate, as a group of . . . more than forty took an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul (cp. 1 Sam 14:24-46; Matt 14:6-11; see also Deut 23:21-23; Matt 5:33-37; Jas 5:12).

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.
