OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_rose_up the_field and_the_cave which in/on/over_him/it to_ʼAⱱrāhām as_property_of a_burial_site by the_people_of Heth.
OET (OET-RV) So the field was deeded as property to Abraham by Het’s sons, including the cave in it for a burial place.

Verse 20 is a concluding summary of chapter 23 and repeats parts of verses 17-18. Make sure that the way you translate this does not sound like Abraham bought another property from the Hittites. Alternate translation: “So that is how that field, including the cave that was in the field, were legally sold to Abraham” or “So in that way, the field of Ephron, including …”

as,property_of burial by, sons_of Het
Consider again how you translated a burial place in verses 4, 9, and 20, and how you translated the sons of Heth in verses 3, 5, 7, 10, 16, 18, and 20. Alternate translation: “by the Hittites as a burial site.”
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.

OET (OET-RV) So the field was deeded as property to Abraham by Het’s sons, including the cave in it for a burial place.
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.
