וַיְהִ֣י עֵשָׂ֗ו אִ֛ישׁ יֹדֵ֥עַ צַ֖יִד
and=he/it_was ˊĒsāv (a)_man knowing hunting
See how you translated a similar phrase (“mighty hunter”) in Gen 10:9. Alternate translation: “Esau became a expert hunter,” or “Esau became good at hunting animals for food,”
אִ֣ישׁ שָׂדֶ֑ה
(a)_man field
Alternate translation: “and he preferred being in the open country,” or “and he was an outdoorsman,”

וְיַעֲקֹב֙ אִ֣ישׁ תָּ֔ם
and,Jacob (a)_man quiet
Consider whether or not it is better in your language to begin a new sentence here. Also, make sure that it is clear in your translation that Esau and Jacob are being contrasted. Alternate translation: “but Jacob was a quiet man” or “Jacob, on the other hand, had a mild-mannered personality”
יֹשֵׁ֖ב אֹהָלִֽים
was_sitting tents
Alternate translation: “and worked close to home.” or “and liked to be at home.”
25:27 Esau was a skillful hunter and an outdoorsman—a wild man who loved wild country. Jacob had a quiet (or even) temperament and preferred to stay at home (literally dwelling in tents)—i.e., he was civilized.

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.
