OET (OET-LV) Therefore yes/correct/thus/so someone_called his/its_name Bāⱱel if/because there YHWH he_confused the_language_of all_of the_earth/land and_from_there he/it_scattered_them YHWH over the_surface_of all_of the_earth/land.

OET (OET-RV) That’s why they named the city ‘Babel’ (meaning ‘mixed-up’) because it was there that Yahweh mixed up everyone’s language and then scattered them over the whole world.

OET (OET-RV) That’s why they named the city ‘Babel’ (meaning ‘mixed-up’) because it was there that Yahweh mixed up everyone’s language and then scattered them over the whole world.

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.
