Here the term gates refers to the entire city or town. See how you translated the similar phrase “within your gates” in 5:14. Alternate translation: [in one of your towns]

Moses is using as good to him as a common expression of his culture to mean “as he pleases” or “wherever he wants.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [wherever he pleases] or [wherever he wants to live]

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.
