OET (OET-RV) His descendants settled from Havilah to Shur (which is near Egypt as you go toward Asshur). He fell in the face of all his brothers.[fn]
25:18 We’ve left this unusual sentence in here, because we don’t really know now what this ancient idiom meant. Possibilities include being hostile to the brothers, living opposite them, or even dying in their presence.

מֵֽחֲוִילָ֜ה עַד שׁ֗וּר
from,Havilah until Shūr
Be consistent here with how you spelled Havilah in Gen 2:11; 10:7, 29 and Shur in Gen 16:7; 20:1. The name Shur means “wall”. The Wilderness of Shur may have been named after a city or fortification named Shur that was located near the eastern border of Egypt (Gen 16:7). Alternate translation: “throughout the area that extended from the region of Havilah to the desert of Shur”

Alternate translation: “that is east of the land of Egypt”
בֹּאֲכָ֖ה
your(ms)=going
Alternate translation: “as you go from there” or “as one goes”
אַשּׁ֑וּרָה
Asshur,toward
Assyria and its capital city Asshur were far east of Shur. Consider again how you spelled Asshur in Gen 2:14; 10:11, 22, and 25:3, 18. Alternate translation: “to the city of Asshur in Assyria.” or “in the direction of the land of Assyria.”

on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in face/surface_of all brothers,his settled
The Hebrew text has an idiom here that is ambiguous in this context. It could mean: (1) “He/They lived in hostility toward/against all his/their brothers/relatives.” or “They lived as enemies against all their brothers/relatives.” See how you translated a different idiom in 16:12 that probably has this meaning. Or it could mean: (2) “They settled/lived in the presence of all their brothers/relatives.” or “They settled/lived among/near all their brothers/relatives.” or (3) “He/Ishmael died in the presence of all his brothers/relatives.” or “He/Ishmael died when/while all his brothers were still alive.”
25:18 Havilah was a region in north-central Arabia.
• Shur was a region between Beersheba and Egypt.
• in open hostility toward all their relatives: The wording is close to that of 16:12.

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.
