OET (OET-RV) So Efron’s field that was in Machpelah which faced Mamre (including the field and the cave that was in it, and all the trees that were in the field that was within all of its surrounding borders) was deeded

Verses 17-18 are a summary of the transaction between Ephron and Abraham. Make sure your translation of these verses does not sound like this was a second time that the field was sold. Alternate translation: “That is how the field that belonged to Ephron”
אֲשֶׁר֙ בַּמַּכְפֵּלָ֔ה
which/who in/on/at/with,Machpelah
Alternate translation: “that was in the Machpelah area”
אֲשֶׁ֖ר לִפְנֵ֣י מַמְרֵ֑א

Mamre was another name for the city of Hebron (verse 19). The name probably came from Abraham’s friend and ally who lived there (Gen 13:18; 14:13). Alternate translation: “east of the city of Mamre,”
הַשָּׂדֶה֙ וְהַמְּעָרָ֣ה אֲשֶׁר בּ֔וֹ
the=field and,the,cave which/who in/on/over=him/it
Alternate translation: “including both the field and the cave that was in it,”
בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר בְּכָל גְּבֻל֖וֹ סָבִֽיב
in_the=field which/who in=all boundaries,its surrounding
Alternate translation: “in the field, whatever was inside its borders,” or “anywhere inside the borders of the field,”

For some languages it may be better to break up this long sentence, change the order of the phrases in this verse, and say, “So Ephron sold his field to Abraham, including the cave that was in the field, as well as all the trees that were inside its boundaries. The field was in the Machpelah area near the city of Mamre. Ephron sold the/that field …” Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “was legally sold by Ephron” or “Ephron sold all of that”
23:1-20 When Sarah . . . died, Abraham acquired a parcel of land for a burial place. This transaction was the first sign that a permanent transition had taken place, as people were normally buried in their ancestral homeland (cp. 49:29–50:13). In burying Sarah, Abraham detached from his just-mentioned ancestral home (where his relatives still lived, 22:20-24); his future would be in Canaan, where his descendants would realize the promise.

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.
