OET (OET-LV) And_quarreled the_herdsmen of_Gerar with the_herdsmen of_Yiʦḩāq to_say to/for_us the_waters and_he/it_called the_name the_well Esek if/because they_quarreled with_him/it.
OET (OET-RV) But the herdsmen from Gerar quarrelled with Yitshak’s herdsmen, saying, “The water belongs to us.” So he named the well ‘Esek’ (which means ‘dispute’), because they disputed with him.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
לָ֣נוּ הַמָּ֑יִם
to/for=us the=waters
Consider whether it is best in your language to use a direct quote or an indirect quote here. Alternate translation: “That water is ours!” or “that the well belonged to them.” or “that they owned that water”
וַיִּקְרָ֤א שֵֽׁם הַבְּאֵר֙

Alternate translation: “So Isaac named that well”

Esek
If you include the meaning of this well’s name in your translation text or in a footnote, make sure it fits with how you translate disputed in the next clause. This word is different from the word for quarreled used earlier in verse 20, but it has the same meaning.
כִּ֥י הִֽתְעַשְּׂק֖וּ עִמּֽוֹ
that/for/because/then/when contended with=him/it
The herdsmen from Gerar disputed with Isaac indirectly (verse 20b) when they quarreled with his herdsmen (verse 20a). Make sure in your translation that the two halves of this verse do not contradict each other. Alternate translation: “because they disputed with his herdsmen about it.”
26:1-35 In this digression from Jacob’s story, Isaac’s prosperity (ch 26) shows that the blessing had passed to him (cp. 25:11) despite his failures of faith.

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.
