OET-LV And_he/it_was a_famine on_the_earth (from)_besides_of the_famine (the)_former which it_was in_the_days_of ʼAⱱrāhām and_ Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) _he/it_went to ʼAⱱīmelek[fn] the_king_of the_Pəlishtiy to_Gərār.
26:1 OSHB note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.
OET (OET-RV) Then there was a famine in the region (a different one from the earlier famine that was in the days of Avraham) so Yitshak (Isaac) moved to Gerar, the region of Avimelek, the Pelishtim king.

famine
See how you translated famine in Genesis 12:10. Alternate translation: [another famine] or [another extreme lack of food] or [another time of severe food shortage]
מִלְּבַד֙ הָרָעָ֣ב הָרִאשׁ֔וֹן אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיָ֖ה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was famine on_the=earth (from),,besides_of the,famine (the),former which/who it_became in,the_days_of ʼAⱱrāhām and=he/it_went Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) to/towards ʼAⱱīmelek king Pelishtim to,Gerar )
Alternate translation: [in addition to the previous one that occurred] or [This was a different famine from the one that had happened years before]

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was famine on_the=earth (from),,besides_of the,famine (the),former which/who it_became in,the_days_of ʼAⱱrāhām and=he/it_went Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) to/towards ʼAⱱīmelek king Pelishtim to,Gerar )
In your translation it should not sound like Isaac went alone to the city of Gerar; the rest of his family lived with him.
אֶל־אֲבִימֶּ֥לֶךְ מֶֽלֶךְ־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים גְּרָֽרָה
to/towards (Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was famine on_the=earth (from),,besides_of the,famine (the),former which/who it_became in,the_days_of ʼAⱱrāhām and=he/it_went Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) to/towards ʼAⱱīmelek king Pelishtim to,Gerar )
Be consistent here with how you translated “the city of Gerar” in Genesis 10:19; 20:1–2 and Philistines in Genesis 10:14; 21:32, 34. Alternate translation: [went for help to the Philistine king Abimelech, who lived in the city of Gerar]

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.
