OET (OET-LV) thus YHWH he_says on three (the)_transgressions_of Mōʼāⱱ and_for four not revoke_him because burned_he the_bones_of the_king_of ʼEdōm to_the_lime.

⇔ “Even if Moab was three or four sins below the threshold,
⇔ I wouldn’t turn away its punishment,
⇔ because he completely burnt up the bones of the Edom’s king.

This is a poetic device. It does not mean that a specific number of sins had been committed, but it indicates that many sins had led to God’s judgment.

2:1 desecrated the bones: In some past skirmish, the Moabites had captured Edom’s king. Cremation was considered a form of desecration; if the ashes (literally lime) of the king were used in plaster, the insult would be compounded.

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.
