OET (OET-RV) The firstborn came out quite red and covered with hair like a fur coat, so they named him ‘Esaw’ (which means ‘hairy’).

Alternate translation: “When the first baby came out, he was covered with thick red hair so that he was as hairy as a fur robe.” or “The first baby who was born was completely covered with thick red hair.”
וַיִּקְרְא֥וּ שְׁמ֖וֹ
and,called his/its=name
The Hebrew text has they here, which probably refers to Esau’s parents and may include people in general after his parents named him. Alternate translation: “So he was named”

Consider whether or not to include the meaning of Esau’s name in the text or in a footnote.
25:25 Two wordplays anticipate Esau’s later life. Esau sounds like Hebrew se‘ar, which means “hair”; Esau’s later homeland, Edom, was known as Seir (“hairy”) because it was wooded (as though covered with hair).
• red (Hebrew ’admoni) sounds like Esau’s other name, Edom (25:27-34); Edom had red soil.
• Esau’s >hair was like the fur coat of an animal, foreshadowing his unspiritual character (25:34; Heb 12:16; cp. Lev 26:22; Deut 7:22; 1 Cor 15:32). The description of the child uses words that highlight the Edomites’ nature.

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.
