OET (OET-RV) So Abram moved his tents and went and settled by the terebinth trees at Mamre (near Hebron), and he built an altar to Yahweh there.
וַיֶּאֱהַ֣ל אַבְרָ֗ם
and,moved_~_tent Avram
Abram obeyed God, but we do not know if he did everything that God commanded in verse 17 before he moved his tents near Hebron (verse 18), or if moving his tents was the first step in obeying what God told him to do. It is best to keep this general in your translation (as the Hebrew text does). Also see how you translated the phrase moved his tents in verse 12. Alternate translation: “Then Abram did what Yahweh commanded and moved his tents” or “Abram obeyed Yahweh and relocated his tents”
וַיָּבֹ֛א וַיֵּ֛שֶׁב
and,came and=he/it_sat_down//remained//lived
Alternate translation: “and went to live”
בְּאֵלֹנֵ֥י מַמְרֵ֖א
in/on/at/with,oaks Mamre
See how you translated terebinth in Gen 12:6. Alternate translation: “near the terebinth trees on the land owned by a man named Mamre,”
וַיִּֽבֶן שָׁ֥ם מִזְבֵּ֖חַ
and=he/it_built there altar
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. See how you translated this phrase in Gen 12:7-8.
לַֽיהוָֽה
to/for=YHWH
See how you translated this phrase in Gen 12:7 and how you translated a similar phrase in Gen 8:20 and 12:8. Alternate translation: “and offered sacrifices on it to thank and worship Yahweh.”
13:18 Hebron was an Anakite city (Num 13:22) originally called Kiriath-arba (“city of Arba”), located in forested highlands just north of the Negev (Gen 12:9; Josh 17:15). Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob all settled there (Gen 18:1; 35:27; 37:14), and Sarah, Abraham, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, and Leah were buried there (23:19; 35:27-29; 49:29-32; 50:13).
• Mamre was an Amorite (14:13; 15:16).

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.
