לְאַבְרָהָ֥ם לְמִקְנָ֖ה
to,Abraham as,possession
Alternate translation: “to Abraham as his property” or “to Abraham, and it became his possession”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
לְעֵינֵ֣י בְנֵי־חֵ֑ת
in,presence_of sons_of Het
See how you translated the idiom before the eyes of in verse 11. Alternate translation: “in the sight of the elders of the Hittites” or “while the leaders of the Hittites watched as witnesses”
בְּכֹ֖ל בָּאֵ֥י שַֽׁעַר־עִירֽוֹ
in/on/at/with,all_of went_in_of gate_of city_of,his
For some languages it may be more natural to change the order of some of the clauses in this verse and say, “… to Abraham in front of the leaders of the Hittites who had gathered at the city gates, so that they all witnessed that the land was now Abraham’s property.” Do what is best in your language. Also, see how you translated a similar clause in verse 10. Alternate translation: “including everyone who had gathered at their city gate” or “That included everyone who had met together at their city gates.”
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 Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
