The word translated as for indicates that what follows is a reason for what came before. Use a connector in your language that makes it clear that what follows is a reason for what came before. Alternate translation: [You shall not detest an Edomite because he is your brother]

(Some words not found in UHB: not abhor ʼEdōmite that/for/because/then/when your(ms)=brother/kindred he/it not abhor from_Miʦrayim/(Miʦrayim/(Egypt)) that/for/because/then/when alien were in,land_of,his )
Here Moses is speaking of an Edomite as if he were actually a brother to an Israelite. He means that the Edomites were descendants of Esau, who was the brother of Jacob, the ancestor of the Israelites. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [for he comes from our relative Esau]

The word because introduces the reason for the command not to detest Egyptians. If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [since you were foreigners in the land of Egypt, do not detest the Egyptians]

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.
