Most likely Ishmael was already dead by this time, so that Esau went to the region where Ishmael’s children and other descendants were living. Alternate translation: [Then Esau traveled to the clan of Ishmael]

Be consistent here with how you spelled Nebaioth in Genesis 25:13. Since Nebaioth was Ishmael’s oldest child, Mahalath was his younger sister, probably from the same mother. Use a kinship term here in your language for sister or “brother” that fits with those facts. Alternate translation: [and who was the younger sister of Nebaioth] or [and whose older brother was Nebaioth]

For some languages it may be better to change the order of some of the clauses in this sentence and say, “So, in addition to the two wives he already had, Esau went to the family of Abraham’s son Ishmael and married Ishmael’s daughter Mahalath, whose brother was Nebaioth.” Alternate translation: [besides the two wives he already had]

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.
