OET (OET-RV) Eber’s two sons were Peleg and Yoktan. (Peleg’s name means ‘division’, because it was during his lifetime that the earth was divided.[fn])
10:25 Often believed to refer to the division of languages after the building of the tower described in chapter 11.

and,to,Eber he/it_was_born two_of children
Alternate translation: “Then Eber fathered two sons.”
שֵׁ֣ם הָֽאֶחָ֞ד
name_of the=one
Alternate translation: “The name of the first son was” or “The first son was named”
פֶּ֗לֶג
Feleg
You can put the meaning of Peleg’s name in the text or in a footnote, so that it is clear why he was given his name. See what you did for a similar case (Noah’s name) in Gen 5:29.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
נִפְלְגָ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ
divided the=earth/land
This phrase refers to the people on the earth and implies that they scattered and lived all over the earth (as specified in Gen 11:8). Alternate translation: “the people on the earth separated into separate groups and scattered everywhere.”
Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns
וְשֵׁ֥ם אָחִ֖יו יָקְטָֽן
and=name_of his/its=woman Joktan
Make sure it is clear in your translation who is being referred to in this sentence, especially after reading the previous two sentences.
10:25 Peleg means division, anticipating the separation of people into language groups after Babel (11:1-9). Peleg’s line led to Abram (see 11:16-26).
• Joktan was the ancestor of the southern Arabian tribes. The Ishmaelite tribes were in northern Arabia (see 25:13-16).

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